“President Biden on Monday commuted the death sentences to life sentences for 37 of the 40 men who are on the federal government’s death row. Those spared include child killers and mass murderers. Ironically, 36 of those 40 sentences were under a 1994 law written by then-Senator Biden, which designated dozens of new capital offenses. Biden’s decision came two days before Christmas. While Democrats oppose the death penalty, Americans overall support the death penalty by at least a 3-to-2 margin.” [editor’s note: Then Americans are wrong by at least a 3-to-2 margin. If it’s even possible at all to have “limited government,” it’s not possible to have “limited government” AND a government power of life and death over disarmed captives. They’re opposites – TLK (12/23/24)
