People are fed up with these crimes against children. This a proactive pushback against the left's new "pedophilia is normal" campaign.

quote:

NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) — Tennessee’s GOP-controlled Senate advanced legislation on Tuesday allowing the death penalty in child rape convictions as critics raised concerns that the U.S. Supreme Court has banned capital punishment in such cases.

Republicans approved the bill on a 24-5 vote. It must still clear the similarly conservatively dominant House chamber before it can go to Gov. Bill Lee’s desk for his signature.

If enacted, the Tennessee bill would authorize the state to pursue capital punishment when an adult is convicted of aggravated rape of a child. Those convicted could be sentenced to death, imprisonment for life without possibility of parole, or imprisonment for life.

Florida’s Gov. Ron DeSantis enacted a similar bill nearly a year ago. Supporters in both states argue that the goal is to get the currently conservative-controlled U.S. Supreme Court to reconsider a 2008 ruling that found it unconstitutional to use capital punishment in child sexual battery cases.

That's interesting. Does the US Supreme Court not have the ability to overrule the UCMJ? (In the UCMJ, rape can result in the death penalty)

Now who’s going to be the first to claim this unfairly targets LGBT and thereby admit that association?

Might get it through now, if John Roberts doesn't screw the pooch.

Oh, Democrats won’t like that. Biden will get pissed. Daughters off limits in Tennessee. The Bidens should steer clear.

I'm all for this. Not just rape though - the death penalty should be automatic for pedophiles.

I also believe shoplifters should have a finger removed every time they are caught.

We're never going to turn things around unless there are severe punishments.

Kennedy was only 5-4 and most of the majority is gone. There were also interesting things surrounding the national consensus argument (or supposed lack thereof).

I’d bet Kennedy gets abrogated when this eventually gets up before SCOTUS.

And as usual, Desantis is at the forefront and a conservatives thought leader on the issue.

I used to think that. But now I think it may be more productive to allow businesses to employ shoplifters at 0.05 cents per hour until they have worked off whatever they stole. At the end, hand them whatever they took, and a trespass warrant, and tell them to GTFO.

Wasn’t he publicly accused of something by a high profile attorney?

I guess it was no big deal to have the Cheif Justice accused of criminal behavior in a very public, and highly publicized manner.

Totally normal.

It happens all the time.
