#1 Nebraskans Against the Death Penalty, the leading anti-capital punishment organization in the state, delivered the signatures of more than 60,000 people to the Governor’s Office at the State Capitol, asking that he cancel the execution.

Another group, called Catholic Democrats of Nebraska, brought a “public” letter, signed by more than 660 people, calling for Ricketts to “see the error of his ways” and halt the execution.

“We pray that you have a conversation of the heart,” the letter said.

One of the women who delivered the Catholic Democrats’ letter, Marylyn Felion, a death penalty opponent from Omaha, said Ricketts is violating an oath he took as a member of the Equestrian Order of the Holy Sepulchre to pledge “absolute fidelity to the pope.” “He has hidden behind Catholic teaching as long as it served his purpose ... now, no more,” Felion said.

Can good Catholics take the oath of office, by Feilon's standards? The foreign manufacturer of the lethal drug also wanted the court to intervene, overturning Constitutional law and the will of the people by vote, because of their opinion! Religious litmus testing may be necessary to keep socialistic globalists from usurping the power of the people.
