There is already a remedy here. The executive can simply decide not to go through with the execution. There's no benefit to allowing judges to selectively interpret the law. The price of that precedent is too high. If you think the justice system already makes poor decisions (I agree) then the solution is certainly not to give judges even more power.
- giantg2 4y ago"There's not benefit to allowing judges to selectively interpret the law." I agree, but they already do. When the entirety of the system has failed and it's down to the executive, that's a problem. We want a system that's fail-safe, not fail-fatal.
- mulmen 4y agoThe entirety of the system hasn't failed though. The legislature can still change the law and the executive can still refuse to enforce the death penalty. And to top it off the judicial has refused to overstep their bounds.
- giantg2 4y agoYeah... in only one of the many cases. How about the ones that aren't national news?
