I am against the death penalty.

My personal view is that I am opposed to the death penalty.

I'm actually really opposed to the death penalty.

Personally I am very much against the death penalty for several reasons.

But I'm not pro death penalty. I - I'm just anti the notion that it is not a matter for democratic choice, that it has been taken away from the democratic choice of the people by a provision of the Constitution.

I'm not in favor of the death penalty. But I'm in favor of locking these people away in maximum security units where they can never get out. They can never escape. They can never be paroled. Lock the bad ones away. But you gotta rethink everybody else.

My objection to the death penalty is based on the idea that this is a democracy, and in a democracy the government is me, and if the government kills somebody then I'm killing somebody.

I was personally opposed to the death penalty, and yet I think I have probably asked for the death penalty more than most people in the United States.

I support capital punishment. But let's be clear: It's a decision for each state to make.
