| Dem Bill Would End Death Penalty for Espionage, Treason, Assassinations |
| 2013-12-18 |
| [BREITBART] Eight Democrats have proposed a bill that would take the death penalty off the table for a variety of serious federal crimes, including espionage, treason and assassinating federal politicians. The Federal Death Penalty Abolition Act. (HR 3741) would "end the death penalty for liquidation or kidnapping that results in the death of the president or vice president, and also ends it for the murder of a member of Congress." The list goes on: "using a weapon of mass destruction, or murder done via torture, child abuse, war crimes, aircraft hijackings, sexual abuse, bank robberies or the willful wrecking of a train." And there is even more like "using chemical or biological materials to kill could also no longer result in the death penalty, nor could deaths related to treason or espionage. The death or injury of an unborn child could not result in the death penalty either." Sponsors of the bill include Rep. Donna Edwards (D-MD), Elijah Cummings ...Representative-for-life from Maryland, representing half of Baltimore City, which makes his district ultra-safe, and most of Howard County, which is out-populated by the city. Cummings' politix are so liberal they're tedious... (D-MN), Barbara Lee (D-CA) Hank Johnson (D-GA), John Lewis (D-GA), Jan Schakowsky (D-IL) and José Serrano (D-N.Y.). |

| #11 They want to do away with the death penalty? Are there any Federal crimes where the death penalty still applies? We will probably find after he is out of office that Obama was really born in Kenya and that he is as phony as that deaf interpreter at Mandela's funeral. |

| #9 Preemptive preparation for a Republican admin & congress. Once the camoflage is lifted on this regime treason & espionage trials will be commonplace and the soon to be defendents want to change the laws before they have to face them. Am I being a) too cynical or b) too optimistic? |

| #8 They don't need the death penalty. They don't need no stinkin' trial by a jury of your peers. If they want you whacked, you'll get whacked. |

| #4 I'm surprised that they proposed removing the death penalty for murdering a Congress critter. Must protect the privileged class, ya know. |

| #3 Sponsors of the bill include Rep. Donna Edwards (D-MD), Elijah Cummings (D-MN), Barbara Lee (D-CA) Hank Johnson (D-GA), John Lewis (D-GA), Jan Schakowsky (D-IL) and José Serrano (D-N.Y.). These sponsors all appear to have something in common besides their workplace and political affiliation. If it's alright with everyone here, I'll just call this bulshi*t what it actually is, 'communist incrementalism.' Suspension of the death penalty is simply step one. Amnesty for all "political prisoners" is the ultimate goal. |

| #2 REAL American Values. Just what we all need. And the Palestinians are a real people with their own language and a long proud history and culture. Real is just what you suppose you think it is. Maybe. But be PC when you say it. |

| #1 IOW, the families of 3000 killed on 9-11 will not see justice done evar! in the name of the lost. The above may not only never know the truth of 9-11 + whomdunnit, but even iff they did the perpetrators will NOT be punished like they should be. |
