Any group of conservatives who limit the power of a government to kill its citizens is performing a major service to the rest of our citizenry.
With your attitude I might assume you to be a Baltimore drug dealer.
Hard to say, he was just reelected.
The death penalty has never been a power granted soley to the government. One must first be found guilty by a jury of one’s peers before it is carried out.
