Gov. Jeff Landry signed into law Tuesday a bill allowing executions by nitrogen gas and electrocution, opening the door for Louisiana to revive capital punishment 14 years after it last used its death chamber.

    This bears repeating. It’s only cheaper if you’re a fascist unconcerned with due process. So you should really just stop lying or take your Nazi rhetoric elsewhere.

      Not really. It can be cheaper while maintaining due process.

      I don’t think you’re capable of understanding this, though.

          Mitigate the amount of appeals convicts are allowed to have so they can’t abuse the system for decades hoping to find a loophole.

          Criminals appealing the death penalty don’t typically do so because they’re innocent, although I don’t expect you to understand or acknowledge this.

            How many appeals do they get currently? How many should they get? You said they typically don’t appeal because they are innocent, so what about the atypical cases where they are innocent?
