"WHERE IS MY ROY COHN !!!!"
What if all this was handled in a much simpler way? Voting on paper ballots with machines doing only the counting and sorting of all the different bubbles..
The guillotine would be pretty good I'd think but then you have to wonder if the head is conscious and actually thinking something.
Anger because now Trump & co are also threatening "real Americans"?
I mean, the "lock her up", "2nd amendment solutions", "treason" talk, have been going on for years.
Now he's angry? Now he sees that's not OK.
Better this guy than the sycophants who still follow Trump (yes, Ted Cruz, you too), but really, nothing Trump and co are doing now should come as surprise to anyone.

I'm opposed to capital punishment as a rule. But here in Utah, firing squad has always been an option for those sentenced to death, and it has been employed. I'm told, but cannot confirm, that the reason is because Mormon religious teaching says that murder can only be atoned for by shedding the murderer's blood, which does not always literally occur with other modes of execution.
Anyway, in a firing squad, one rifle out of the four or five designated for the job is randomly loaded with a blank, the so-called "conscience round." This gives the rifleman the option to believe that he fired the blank and so did not contribute to the execution of the condemned.
If we are worried about the psychological effect of performing executions, instead of trying to get around it, we should confront whether it is a good idea in the first place.
I'll echo a sentiment from above--whether someone deserves death is a different question than whether it's a good idea to empower the government to order it, and task someone with performing it.
