Week Eight: Senate To Vote On Death Penalty Repeal & Guns

The full Maryland Senate this week takes up the issues of gun control and a repeal of the death penalty.

Both pieces of legislation, which are part of Governor Martin O'Malley's legislative agenda, were approved by the Senate Judicial Proceedings Committee last week.

The committee votes will be announced on the Senate floor tonight.

Debate on both bills is expected to begin tomorrow, with a full Senate vote on the death penalty bill expected as early as Wednesday, and a gun control vote expected by Friday.

Anyone who votes yes to either one of these bills needs to be voted out of office.

I am an ardent supporter of capitol punishment, but am a realist. We live in Maryland, where all sympathy goes out to the criminal, not the victim. So they may as well take capitol punishment off the books as all it does is waste taxpayers dollars for ever as appeals go on and on. Then the powers that be can waste the monies saved chasing other windmills.
