It would be illegal to not apply the death penalty for economic reasons, as the guy who is opposed to the death penalty is advocating on the air, as it would be a violation of the 14th Amendment of the US Constitution. That is exactly why he is advocating this - he would want all of the convictions to be overtured.

Reality is that there is nothing wrong with the death penalty. The biggest issue is that if you mess up, you can't ressurect someone. You have to be very careful with it... but there's nothing wrong with it.

I am opposed to live without parole. The possibility for reform is there, and it is a pure vengence thing. If we are going to put them in jail forever, we might as well execute them as it is fundamentally the same thing - their life is over.
