California Gov. to Go Against Voters, Institute Death Penalty MoratoriumBy: Charles Fain Lehman,
California Governor Gavin Newsom (D., Calif.) will on Wednesday announce a moratorium on his state's death penalty, placing an indefinite pause on executions on the largest death row in the United States.
... "The intentional killing of another person is wrong. And as governor, I will not oversee the execution of any individual," Newsom is expected to say.
... In 2016, California voters approved a ballot measure to fix the state's death penalty system, limiting the length of death penalty appeals to five years after conviction. That same year, they voted by a wider margin against a ballot measure to abolish the death penalty in the state altogether. Newsom's moratorium will therefore fly in the face of the most recent expression of the views of the people of California.
Come and see the Democrats' total lack of principles. In addition to flat-out defying the wishes of his constituency, Newsom shows a total disregard for humanity.
He says that it is wrong to kill another person. But he clearly doesn't believe what he said.
He and his party have no problem killing the unborn (abortion), the just-born (late-term abortions and children who survive botched abortions), the elderly and the terminally ill (demanding only palliative care and by supporting assisted suicide).
It would seem that the only class of person Newsom and the Democrats don't want to see killed are convicted serial killers.
There's an old saying: If you are kind to the cruel, then you are being cruel to the kind. And Mr. Newsom is a perfect example.
