A feeble execution is but another phrase for a bad execution; and a government ill executed, whatever may be its theory, must, in practice, be a bad government.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
A feeble executive implies a feeble execution of the government.
The goal is justice, not executions. We all want to make sure the process is fair and that the right person is punished. These recommendations are essential to that goal.
Execution as punishment is barbaric and unnecessary.
Most states in the union where the death penalty is theoretically on the books don't have executions.
I think in some instances that the death penalty is required.
I saw what government programs were and how they were executed. In some cases, they were executed beautifully, but in others, there was tremendous waste.
Death is not only an unusually severe punishment, unusual in its pain, in its finality and in its enormity, but is serves no penal purpose more effectively than a less severe punishment.
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.
The death penalty is ineffective as a deterrent, and the appeals process is expensive and cruel to the surviving family members.
It's absolutely clear that whatever cruel and unusual punishments may - may mean with regard to future things, such as death by injection or the electric chair, it's clear that - that the death penalty, in and of itself, is not considered cruel and unusual punishment.
