Topic	Trump praises death penalty use on drug dealers. Good idea or bad idea?

Even most 1st degree murder doesn't qualify. ..you don't think they'd maybe try changing the laws before doing it? Anyway, has anyone saying this is a terrible idea actually known anyone that OD'd and died? Because 'RIP whoever too soon :(' comes up on my Facebook every 1-3 weeks the last few years The idea is a non-starter. You'd have to get 60 votes in the senate to overturn a century of due process, cruel and unusual punishment, and equal protection laws and go further in the opposite direction from all other developed countries. If that same sentiment of "what if it affected you personally?" wasn't enough to get them to overturn cases that outlawed the death penalty for rape, even of children and murder by minors, it's not gonna happen for drug dealers. --- http://i.imgur.com/0Bi86cp.gif <cite>legendary_zell posted [p:897078313] in Trump prai...
