To bring the rest of you up to speed: Wisconsin had the death penalty for about two minutes after being admitted as a state. It took a long time for the first (and only, I think) perp to die from hanging; and the people were so upset by the sight that they outlawed the death penalty back in the 1800s -- long before that was fashionable. I believe that polls of the populace show the people of Wisconsin to be in favor of the Death penalty, but the Democrats and some RINO legislators prevent the measure from coming to the floor every time it is proposed.
