re: Brandons justice department trying to halt the death penalty.. Thoughts?

quote:

---

The death penalty should be reserved, on a federal level, for treason and heinous crimes

treason like, lets say

you work in the CIA and find out they are not following the constitution and breaking the law, you decide to go to the press about it after your superiors rebuff your concerns. Government says....we may have been breaking the law but it was a secret and you told our secret....so that is treason?

So government is able to do whatever it wants becuase it can just say its classified so if anyone tells.....well thats treason and you will be put to death? hell of deterent to whistle blow on the government breaking the law.
