I’m always amazed at the number of conservative who entrust the government with the power to kill.

They don't. They entrust THEMSELVES with the "power to kill". You obviously don't understand the concept of "trial by jury". No entity of American government, in and of itself, has EVER been entrusted with said power.

It may be a government employee, but he is acting on instructions issued by 12 citizens.

Maybe you think that only abortionists should have the power to kill?

Just about everybody already has the raw power to kill other human beings. The question is whether the killing is just or unjust.

The state has been delegated not only the power, but the authority and attendant duty to punish those who commit murder and other crimes. The state does not have authority to punish the innocent. If in those cases of offenses worthy of death the state refuses to execute the guilty it commits injustice itself, and thus fails in its primary duty. If that is your prescription, what you will end up with in the long run is a government that punishes the innocent and lets the guilty go free.

Cordially,
