Buried on page 554 of the plan is a directive to execute every remaining person on federal death row — and dramatically expand the use of the death penalty

this kind of scrutiny is, in a weird way, why I think Trump may be the harm reduction candidate. Liberals and liberal outlets have endless excuses for the Democrats and their failures, and with any other Republican they keep the gloves of respectability on. But they hate Trump so much, they do real actual combative journalism on everything everything his campaign does.

The article also points out that Biden has been fighting against people on death row who are trying to get their death sentence removed...

so it isn't like there's no scrutiny, at least at the moment.

unfortunately, a fraction of people make it as far as the actual article

Trump gets top billing for what he may eventually do, Biden gets a paragraph sandwiched in the middle for what his administration is currently carrying out

Also he’s president. He has the power to permanently commute their sentences to life imprisonment instead. If he cared about stopping this he could do it in 5 minutes.

Been saying that shit for years. You think Derek Chauvin gets arrested and sentenced without a Trump presidency?
