The trend, which results partly from generational change, is highlighted this year by the Maryland General Assembly’s surprising move to repeal the death penalty. Opponents have been trying to get rid of it for decades, and a major repeal effort failed in Annapolis as recently as two years ago.
Now the Senate, which historically has supported the death penalty, has voted 27 to 20 to end it. The House is expected to follow suit easily, and Gov. Martin O’Malley is certain to sign the bill. Voters still might decide to preserve executions as an option if the bill goes to referendum next year, but opponents are confident they can win that battle.

ReplyDeleteBull!
Communists have overtaken the democratic party.
Just another tool to increase crime and mayhem. Just what the Commies want, so you vote for them to be their nannies. Sheeple, all together now, say "Baaaaaaaaa!".
ReplyDelete757 here, I meant to make it clear I want the death penalty to remain in place. In fact, I'd like to see it enacted within 5 years in each case, not 30.
ReplyDeleteYou are right 7:57. Mayhem and anarchy is exactly what the commies want and it is coming soon.
