(via The Hill) — Nearly a year ago, on January 2, 2012, eight Democrats in the House introduced a curious piece of legislation – H.R. 3741: Federal Death Penalty Abolition Act of 2013, which seeks to abolish the death penalty under federal law. But the bill has only just been discovered by the media, notably The Hill on Dec. 16, 2013:
Rep. Donna Edwards (D-Md.) and seven other Democrats have proposed legislation that would eliminate the possibility of imposing the death penalty for a range of federal offenses, including several categories of murder and crimes against the government like treason and espionage.
The Federal Death Penalty Abolition Act, H.R. 3741, would end the death penalty for assassination or kidnapping that results in the death of the president or vice president, and also ends it for the murder of a member of Congress.
Under the bill, the death penalty could no longer be used to punish people for using a weapon of mass destruction, or murder done via torture, child abuse, war crimes, aircraft hijackings, sexual abuse, bank robberies or the willful wrecking of a train.
Using chemical or biological materials to kill could also no longer result in the death penalty, nor could deaths related to treason or espionage. The death or injury of an unborn child could not result in the death penalty either.
Death of state or local law enforcement officials, using the mail to kill, kidnapping and killing people to stop them from testifying could no longer lead to the death penalty, nor could the use of firearms or armor piercing ammunition during any crime of violence.
The legislation specifically prevents anyone from being sentenced to death or put to death for federal offenses after the bill becomes law. Anyone who was already sentenced to death for a federal crime prior to the bill taking effect would have that sentence reduced to a lifetime prison sentence without any possibility of parole.
Others sponsoring the bill are Reps. Elijah Cummings (D-Md.), Keith Ellison (D-Minn.), Barbara Lee (D-Calif.), Hank Johnson (D-Ga.), John Lewis (D-Ga.), Jan Schakowsky (D-Ill.) and José Serrano (D-N.Y.).
The logical conclusion, therefore, is this:
HR 3741′s real objective is to eliminate the death penalty for TREASON because Democrats think Barack Hussein Obama may be arrested and tried for treason.
Like that fascinating impeachment email that the Democratic National Committee recently sent to its supporters, HR 3741 is motivated by the Democrats’ real fear that their idol, President Lucifer, is in serious trouble.
They only support the death penalty for the unborn
It's actually pretty straight forward.
Go back to Hillary and the 900 Republican FBI files. They were successfully used for blackmail to shut up Republicans. Since that time the Dems have ramped up the espionage and blackmail against Republicans. Much of what you see daily in DC is choreographed theater between the Dems and Pubbies. No meaning, all show. John Roberts' ruling on OC is a prime example of the *fear* of opposing Obama's people.
Most of the Pubbies in congress are scared to do anything of substance.
The people that believe the 2014 (and 2016) elections are going to have any meaning at all are delusional.
Is this a rhetorical question?
In Hillary’s 2nd term , the only death penalty offense will be being a Christian Conservative.

Do Democratic Lawmakers anticipate Treason Trials?

For this, there is someone, somewhere who is scared sh*tless and thinks the GOP is going to take the Senate and increase their presence in the House during the '14 elections.
M2C.
The usual idiots. Why do Democrats do anything? Day by day, act by act, they work systemically dismantle our culture our nation and, yes, our civilization.

Well there’s a group who’s combined IQ you can count on one hand!
I do not care what the penalty phase of such a trial would bring. I simply do not.
I DO care that this POS is arrested and tried and convicted of treason. Along with his enablers and advisors including Valerie Jarrett. That I care about very much.
Where’s the prima donna communist of the DemocRAT Pary, Maxine Waters?
Affimative action.
He’s black.
The standards have been lowered.
These people will not back away from any of
the sacraments of their Religion.
Satan has them fully decieved.
There needs to be a documented indictment, trial, conviction, and sentencing before the convicted Demonrat traitors of the Obama regime are publicly hanged.
This is necessary so busloads of school children can learn about their responsibility to deal with similar Demonrat traitors when they become adults, as they are transported to the site where they can parade past and piss on the bloated corpses of the traitors.
Why?
To save THEIR own skin, of course!
We can only hope and pray.
If only a majority of the members of the Soupreem Kort would take a hike.
What’s with the scam infomercial you linked to? It has nothing to do with the title of your article?
I've said it before and it bears repeating here;
You cannot control a fearless man.
Some things are worth planning for and sacrificing your life for. Love of one's nation is high among these.
Bambi is never going to be impeached, and even if he were to be impeached by the House, it would never go to removal from office. And he would never be honorable enough - like Nixon - to resign. So let’s not waste any more time on this.
I think this Dem move is meant mainly to protect “leakers” such as Snowden (a big gay Dem heart-throb) and possibly Obama when he renounces his citizenship, reveals that he has been passing all of our secrets to some African Muslim hell-hole, Michelle kicks him out of the house (because, odious as she is, she only wants the good life and she doesn’t want to wear a burqa), and he absconds to wherever he feels he might be most powerful.
I used to think this would be the UN, but maybe he has his eye on some other place. In any case, the Dems are just protecting their leakers.
You can count it only on your left hand.
Until we have a majority in both the House and Senate you can’t Impeach and Convict.
After 2014 hopefully it could be done in a week and execute the illegal alien bastard!
