Then you agree with me that he opposes the broken system, correct?

The main point to me is that he opposes it. If it needs to be fixed, then fix it, don't shit-can it.

So you think we should be offing people left and right with a broken system in the meantime? It's not like you can take make a bill that forces people to be honest and to know the truth about criminal allegations.

Yet, that's exactly his position...
Well, that's an ignorant conclusion on your part, then.
If he's opposed to it only because of how it's carried out or how it's applied, then he should say he wants to fix it.

If you want him to say that, then why not send him a letter about it rather than making assumptions on the Internet?
Quote:
But, by saying he's against it because of how it's applied, and then following that with "I am against the federal death penalty", it's pretty fucking clear that he has no desire to "fix" anything.

You don't know that, Steve. It's possible he is against it while it is fucked up.
Quote:
Then again, he won't be the next President, so it's no big deal. What he's demonstrated, though, is his unwillingness and inability to fix problems.
That's hardly a quality I want in a President...

Okay, so which President do you think is going to pass a bill that ensures all death-related sentences are correct? Or are you saying we need to keep killing people even though the system is fucked up?
