(Maryland) Gov. Martin O'Malley urged lawmakers today to allow the full Senate to vote on his proposed repeal of the death penalty, an issue he called "the defining question of our time."
O'Malley, a Democrat who has long advocated an end to capital punishment, asked senators to consider both "empirical evidence" and "higher truths" when making their decision. "This goes to the very soul of who we are as a people and as a state," he said.

I’ve never understood how someone could justify abortion while screaming against capital punishment.
Just unfreakin believable how crazed these jerks are.
So a left wing democrat wants you to use religious convictions to vote his way. But screems seperation of church and state when he disagrees with Catholic Church position.
Bottom line is this scumbag has the soul of a coward. He is too cowardly to protect the unborn and too cowardly to protect to populace from evil.
O’Malley is a disgrace to all Marylanders and Irishmen everywhere.
Tell that to the murderers, child killers and rapists Marty boy! "Life without parole FOR EIGHT YEARS" just ain't gonna cut it when you murder someone. I actually heard that sentence for a murderer. "Life without parole for eight years"! What the hell does that mean?
The hypocrasy of the pro-abort crowd...who want to end capital punishment.
Kill a child but not kill a criminal....too many value the rights of criminals over the rights of the innocent...
For these scum, there are no rights for an unborn child. After all, it’s just tissue. God will have the final judgement on them.
These people are beyond twisted.

I’m sure the Baltimore Sun, in the interest of being fair and balanced, will publish the names and faces of the convicted murderers on Death Row and the crimes they’ve been convicted of.
(ya, right)
Never let it be said that our Boy Governor’s brain fires on all cylinders.
Maryland “Freak State” PING!
Kind of like Kennedys.
And “LIFE” means nothing - why the hell would you call something “life” if it doesn’t mean the duration of the life of the asshole?
Sorry, you unconstrained vision wacko -
man, even the “elite” judges, do not have God’s wisdom such that they can accurately judge the individual by his life circumstances.
Judge them according to the law, because that’s all you’re (we’re) capable of,
and let God deliver the Cosmic Justice.
NOTICE TO ALL: NOTE that you can “FReep this Poll” in that article!
‘Today’s hearing opened with an impassioned plea by the governor, who said the country was “not founded on fear and retribution” or the belief that two wrongs make a right.’
Ah, but they had no problem executing people who “just” STOLE PROPERTY a few times - with almost no waiting (decades? No way - maybe a few months).
What a SOB.
