A group of three dozen House Democrats signed a letter Friday asking President Joe Biden to commute the death sentences of all federal death row inmates and work to dismantle the form of punishment at the federal level. The plea comes on the heels of 13 executions carried out by the Trump administration since July, a legacy the Democrats described as "one of carnage and unrestrained violence." They called on Biden, who has voiced his opposition to the death penalty, to emphasize rehabilitation for offenders in his Justice Department, not execution. "The fact of the matter is that these death

This is just pandering to minorities. When the Dems want somebody dead, they're dead. Just ask Jeffrey Epstein, or Vince Foster.

Does anyone else see the irony of codifying open abortions, and eliminating the death penalty, on the same day?

It's stunning how fast these crazy democrats are working to DESTROY this country, like at WARP SPEED! If it's bad for the country, they work harder to do it. This is what happens when an election is allowed to be STOLEN.

Dark winter indeed. Don't think spring and summer will get any better. As poster #4 indicated, this is about destruction of America. We build, they tear down; it's all they know to do--kill, steal, and destroy. But, the wobbling speaker pig wanted the NG to be supplied with crew-manned machine guns ready to fire on citizens not convicted of any crimes to keep her backside and washerwoman (I hope the originator of this descriptive doesn't mind) jill and her family safe.

why not commute everyone's sentences, to be fair. this kind of thought only brings on more distrust in the government.

It is foolish optimism to think we can 'cure' most of these whose violence earned them the death penalty. That said, I do not personally believe in the death penalty. I do not trust our judicial system nor the average juror. And state-sanctioned ending of life is a moral problem whether abortion or otherwise outside of war or armed conflict to save lives. Let these live the remainder of their limited lives behaind bars without any chance of freedom outside of a pardon.

The death penalty really is not working as a preventative. Megalomaniacs, dopies, and mentally ill just don’t care. From what I see, life in prison is cheaper than an execution, and accomplishes the same end...separation of serious abnormals from the normals.

Commute the deaths of murderers and codify the deaths of innocent babies. What a day to be Democrat... I used to think it the ironic combination (destroy innocence and save evil) was accidental. Now I'm inclined to believe the Culture of Death intends the inversion of everything, this being just one flabbergasting example.
Lord, have mercy.

Why not? They're not going to meet Sparky or Dr. Feelnothing anytime soon. Appeals are time consuming and expensive. Commute death for life/no parole. I'll take that bargain.

The Democrat Party is a criminal organization, so favors felons, illegal immigration, drugs, voter fraud, money laundering, bribery, perjury, false witness, murder, assault and battery, bullying and thuggery.

There are a lot of people who really, really need to be gone, permanently from ranks of the living.

Why not just encourage Biden simply grant amnesty to all federal death row inmates? That would be quicker and make them eligible to vote for the Democrats in future elections?

A group of hyenas is called a “cackle”. Henceforth, the Democrat caucus is the Democrat cackle!

I think prisoners on death row should be given the choice of injection, gas, electrocution or a night with Ayanna Pressley in your cell.

Would be nice if Biden would show this kind of concern for unborn babies who get the democrat death penalty.

For those who think the death penalty is wrong and the prisoners should be sentenced to life in prison, I have true story for you. Last Spring an activist group sued to have all Washington state prisoners over the age of 50 released from prison due to the china flu. By ONE vote, our State Supreme Court ruled, 5 to 4 not to release them. One of those prisoners who would have been released would have been the Green River Killer, Gary Ridgeway, a man convicted of murdering 49 women and is believed to have killed 100. They just haven't found those bodies yet. This is what the 'rats think is compassionate and caring.
