Scalia: it's probably time to say goodbye to the Death Penalty

[Grumpier Than Uncle Joe]

I'm very pro death penalty.

If it was used routinely after being 100% certain you have the right person on death row (which need not take 10-15 friggin  years) it wouldn't be time to say good bye.   But, it's so rarely used, it's going to be an almost irrelevant conversation topic in the not so distant future.

I really hate it when the argument is 'YOU CAN'T BE PRO LIFE AND PRO DEATH PENALTY'........it's so weak.

I can see the difference between a fetus growing into a baby and a mass murderer........but I'm a cold hearted prick.

Meh', I support the death penalty would really like it to be kept.

Then don't you call yourself "pro-life" ever again.

Because the life of murderer, serial rapist and terrorist are the same as a life of an innocent baby. If you sincerely believe that you're oversimplifying.

Yes, they are equal. All lives are beautiful in the eyes of God, and each deserves the chance to make the most of their only time on earth, which includes the chance of redemption.

God can forgive the murderer......we don't have to.
