Summary
Trump vowed to direct the DOJ to “vigorously” pursue the death penalty for violent offenders after Joe Biden commuted the sentences of 37 federal death row inmates.
Biden’s decision, aimed at halting federal executions, drew mixed reactions: victims’ families expressed both support and anger, while death penalty opponents urged Biden to extend clemency further.
Trump criticized the commutations as undermining justice and pledged a return to “Law and Order” during his presidency, reigniting debate over capital punishment.
I am not advocating for the death penalty. I am pointing out the moral absurdity of killing day old infants with their entire families and then pretending to act magnanimously towards convicted murderers. It either means that this has nothing to do with the sanctity of human life in Joe Biden’s eyes or that he is a complete schizophrenic.
Biden’s leaving office in a few weeks. I’m sure you’ll apply this same unflinching demand for moral consistency to Trump.
You don’t apply moral standards to your enemies, you just beat them. And you certainly don’t accomodate them or adopt their policies.
