The majority doesn't see it your way, and once again, the left is going to use the courts impose their view on the majority.

That majority is shrinking fast. http://www.pewforum.org/2014/03/28/shrin...h-penalty/ In the last 20 years support has dropped from 82% to 55% in favor. Whites are the only ethnic group in favor, likely because they are the least likely to be convicted.

Me, too.

the death penalty is legal in states where the majority approves. We are a Republic. What people want in Delaware should not dictate what happens in Arkansas.

Figure it out and stop pushing statism.
