The death penalty is something I hate that we need to have. There are evil people who do evil acts. The idea that Biden is even considering pardoning anyone who has been sentenced to death underscores the depth of his depravity. As someone who has served a legal role in multiple death penalty cases, it is a torturous process that is physically, intellectually and emotionally exhausting. I believe in second chances for a huge range of behavior, but it is wrong to wave a Presidential hand and obliterate the decision of the 12 hardworking, honest jurors to remove the penalty of death. Let the defendants make their confession to God, as each of us must do.
Okay, Bill, I am reconsidering my earlier position on a Constitutional amendment.
Bravo. We need lots more executions. The distinction between 1st and 2nd degree murder seems frivolous to me. If you kill someone the honorable outcome for you and your family is for you to die. It's bad form to ask for a lesser punishment.

I wonder if this is something that could actually gain bi-partisan momentum for an amendment. If Biden does what you refer to here it very well might.
