The New York Times "Room for Debate" feature has this online debate on the Graham and Sullivan cases between Marc Mauer of the Sentencing Project and yours truly.
Update (12:35 p.m. ET / 9:35 a.m. PT): Lyle Denniston reports at SCOTUSblog that "it did not appear that there was a clearcut majority for taking away altogether the life-without-parole option even in cases where the victim of a youth's crime did not die." The transcript is not available yet.
Update 2: The transcript of the Graham argument is here. Due to the heavy load on the Court's website, we will temporarily mirror the transcript here.
Update 3: The transcript of the Sullivan argument is here.
