#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.

#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.

#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.

#4 I'm surprised that they proposed removing the death penalty for murdering a Congress critter.

Must protect the privileged class, ya know.

#6 I can see why this issue might be close to home for many Democrats.

#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.

#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?

#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.
