He should but knows he would never face anything due to the cowardly GOP. Though I do think the likes of Cruz, Palin, Lee and a couple of others if in the white house would go after him and the cover ups they have been doing.

No sympathy. At all.

The Constitution doesn’t guarantee painless executions.

The death penalty should be in cases of “no doubt”, not reasonable doubt...life term for that. If new evidence arises there’s always the possibility of releasing innocent people, too late if they’re dead. I believe there’s many innocent people behind bars.

Well then, why does he not halt ISIS executions? Do you think he see’s the tragic irony in all this?

DNA testing has exonerated some people wrongly convicted, some on death row. Hopefully with the advancements made in forensic science the number of people wrongfully convicted will go down.

There is still a problem with overzealous detectives and prosecutors that withhold evidence and pay witnesses to lie because they only care about keeping their job.

I am for capital punishment for the truly guilty, and I don’t really care how cruel it is.

He's doing what Lefty politicians do: Using flighty rhetoric to cater to the Left and front-off to the Right.

They just do what they want to do because it FEEEEEEEEELLLLLS good.

The releasees will murder someone else later, but at least it won't be me, and I'll feeeellll good for letting someone "have another chance" out of jail.

They have no idea what kind of ogres we've got locked up under death sentences..... Lefties go all auto-symp over Death Row inmates as if they were all poets and romantics. They have no idea. They think Silence of the Lambs was just a movie, people like that don't exist.

I used to work with a liberal that vehemently opposed capital punishment but was “pro-choice”. He also claimed to be Christian. I asked him to explain to me how it is OK to kill an innocent child but not OK to kill a convicted murderer.

He never did come up with a good answer, especially because he was Christian the claim that the fetus isn’t a child didn’t fly.

Of course he did. Does he feel that same way about illegal immigration? I mean we should hold off on it until the Supreme Court weighs in?

Isn't just like the Dems to be generous with other people's money and in this case, generous to the murderer at the expense of the victim.

They come across looking generous and loving, just like Santa Clause, and it is always at the expense of someone else.
