Quote by: Technosoul  Yes, the logic is founded on the reasoning that our whole justice system is not just, and that we have too many different kinds of interpretations about the Consitution, and the lawyers and judges have too much control over what the jury can or cannot hear as evidence. And we cannot always trust a jury to make a judgement based on that evidence or logically. So capital punishment should not be employed under any circumstances. In the case of an elected offical you can get by with a impeachment hearing or by voting them out of office.
Plus, a President can create a false enemy of this country and so there would be no reason to kill someone who does not agree with the fantasy of a Presidential person, or to act in defense of the innocent person or country that the President has falsely listed as an enemy of our cournty.
You do no kill people for having a different opinon. A protestor of the war in Irag or the one they had in Viet Nam could be seen an act of treason especially if they were in unifrom or held public office. I do not think that capital punishment should be used to scare people into agreeing with a President or the echos of Congress favoring him. |
Sorry, but if you enter into a contract knowing that it includes the death penalty, you have no right to cry about that sentence being handed down if your actions violate that oath.
