The Secretary of the Treasury is currently a Democrat. While I don't think he's taken a position on the death penalty, Democrats tend to be anti-capital punishment and this would be a pretty bizarre way to thumb your nose at a Democrat. Even Democrats who claim to be pro-death penalty would likely privately be happy about this.
