No state should have the power of life and death over its citizens.
100% verifiable facts or your money back. Anti-fascist. Enemy of woo - theistic or otherwise. Cloth is not an antiviral. Imagination and fantasy is no substitute for tangible reality. Wishing doesn't make it real.

This, so much this. How can this not be abused? Still SD is a nutter and you all know better than him.Strontium Dog wrote:No state should have the power of life and death over its citizens.
We should be MOST skeptical of ideas we like because we are sufficiently skeptical of ideas that we don't like. Penn Jillette.
Re: Nebraska turns liberal...
Not only did the GOP controlled legislature abolish the death penalty, it did so over the GOP governor's veto.
In 2014, Nebraska also booted out an incumbent GOP congressman who'd held office for 16 years.
In 2012, Nebraska, a mostly red state, split its electoral vote, giving one vote to Obama
And it passed a referendum increasing minimum wage by huge margin.
