My comment is in regards to the poll. I’ve seen too many instances where our judiciary fails the accused. Too many documented instances of police malfeasance, corrupt prosecutors, biased judges and unfair juries. There are too many examples where the innocent have been convicted. Who’s to say these failures don’t exist in death penalty cases? Unless you can literally swear upon your life & stand before God, you know the crime is a fact; you have no justification to commit the ultimate crime- to deny life.

I find myself enjoying your polls. Thanks for the fast read content.
I’m amazed at all the information you pull together. You and NY times are my only news sources and I trust you more. Well done.
Thoughts on the recent Supreme Court ruling specifically on the part that says sometimes the law itself prevents the judiciary from enforcing the law?
