As far as the death penalty cases the current rules are two fold: (1) “In declining states the leadership intuitively chooses the most harmful course of action:”(2) “there comes a time in the history of every people when they become so pathologically soft and tender that they actually side with those elements of their society that harms them; i.e. criminals.”-F.

At least until the New Deal, the country understood that cultural changes like Abolition and Prohibition needed Constitutional amendment. We are fortunate to have made 140 or so years.

No. The federal government has confiscated them and placed them in a lock box for safekeeping. Can’t have governors and states acting like they have sovereignty.
Some do but don’t dicount the effect of propaganda. Yes many of the masses are voting for this but they wouldn’t if they knew the truth.

the betrayal here is in the house, and not the constitution
The cases will be decided by two factors:
1. What does the greatest damage to the people; and
2. What is the stupidest reason for the decision.
Little Johnny Blackmailed and his band of mental midgets can make decisions; but they cannot enforce it if we the people defy them.
