I missed this bill (ACR235) — as did most of the rest of the state’s press. Assemblyman Bill Baroni has introduced a constitutional amendment that would strip the Legislature of its authority to repeal the death penalty.
We’ll be asking him about this as the campaign wears on, but it appears that the Assemblyman — and candidate for state Senate — is on the wrong side of the death penalty debate.

The link doesn\’t work… what\’s the bill number?
Good thing that the death penalty is not \”cruel or unusual punishment\”. Further, it not as if our current system of jurisprudence (that\’s a joke), doesn\’t make mistakes. Anyone who hasn\’t heard about all the death row inmates exonerated by dna evidence doesn\’t deserve to comment. We have to recognize that only governments can kill or enslave large numbers of people so \”efficiently\”. Itemize all the genocides and you\’ll see it would not have been possible without government. As a libertarian, I\’d say that the government has no moral authority to murder anyone. Period! If you think that government has a duty to protect you, think again. It\’s not by chance that poor minorities wind up on death row. Ask Bill about that. I\’m sure the answer will be that \”our\” politicians and judges are better than that. Right!!
