President-elect Donald Trump promised Tuesday that he would “vigorously” enforce the death penalty following President Joe Biden’s decision to grant clemency to 37 death row inmates.
“As soon as I am inaugurated, I will direct the Justice Department to vigorously pursue the death penalty to protect American families and children from violent rapists, murderers, and monsters,” Trump wrote Tuesday on Truth Social. “We will be a Nation of Law and Order again!”
Biden commuted death sentences Monday for 37 criminals convicted for brutal murders, reclassifying their sentences to life without parole. Biden said that he could not in good conscience “stand back and let a new administration resume executions” he halted.
“Make no mistake: I condemn these murderers, grieve for the victims of their despicable acts, and ache for all the families who have suffered unimaginable and irreparable loss,” Biden said in a statement. “But guided by my conscience and my experience as a public defender, chairman of the Senate Judiciary Committee, Vice President, and now President, I am more convinced than ever that we must stop the use of the death penalty at the federal level.”
While he can only do that for Federal crimes, more crimes could be prosecuted as Federal crimes.
Additionally, some states will start to prosecute local crimes while asking for harsher sentences – including the ultimate penalty!
Hopefully, this combination will reduce the number of criminals on our streets – and maybe terminate them before they procreate!
Eye for an eye !!!!
The people that have committed treason should jump the line and be punished first by a jury if their peers
