I have a serious problem with section 5.
Any government official convicted of any felony should do the rope dance.
That should be the one and only punishment for government officials convicted of felonies.
Period. Paragraph. Turn the page. Close the book. Amen.

LOL -- Funny you should mention that; I originally had that [capital punishment] be the consequence of fraudulent reporting by the treasurer but then figured it wouldn't appeal because people would see it as being too heavy-handed.

Mere theft is not a felony, and so by your standard shouldn't be a capital punishment. (Though I admit 18USC241 & 242 are, and by your standard would be.)

Theft over $700US is a felony in my state, last I checked.

But if you insist, I'll reduce that to any misdemeanor that is punishable by over a year for a normal citizen.

I want one punishment for politicians for committing any crime more serious than parking tickets, jaywalking, or speeding.

DUI? Rope dance. Bribery? Rope dance. Etc... rinse and repeat as required.

In re: my last post...

It's not like we're going to run out of politicians. 30% turnover to the gallows might be a good thing.

If politicians become endangered, I might consider backing off. Slightly.

Nah.
