A conservative plan for Donald Trump’s potential transition into the presidency calls for dozens of prisoners to be executed, according to HuffPost. An 887-page plan by Project 2025, led by the ultra-conservative Heritage Foundation, says that if elected, Trump should make a concerted effort to execute the remaining 40 prisoners on death row. The section’s author, attorney Gene Hamilton, advised that Trump “do everything possible to obtain finality” on the current list of people until Congress forces them to stop. Hamilton is the vice president of America Legal First, a group of former Trump lawyers bent on attacking “woke” companies, headed by Stephen Miller. Trump’s approach to the death penalty stands in stark contrast to that of President Joe Biden, who has openly opposed the death penalty, but done little to move forward legislation to reform or abolish the practice since entering office.
For those of you not in the know Project 2025 is Republicans plan to turn the USA into an authoritarian state.
“Dems are bad at protecting abortion because the law on the books was overturned by a corrupt Repub SCOTUS. That’s why we have to deter Dem votes, so we can have an even more corrupt SCOTUS.”
Do you think about what you are typing at all, or is this like a copy/paste from some sort of propaganda and disinformation Discord group?
You seem to misunderstand the Dobbs decision. There was no law in the books, abortion was set by the decision of a previous supreme court ruling, Roe V Wade. Dobbs over-rulled that ruling – if there had been an actual law, passed at any point in time the legislature, there would have been nothing the supreme court could do.
A month before the Dobbs ruling and until the following November, the Democrats had the house, senate, and presidency. If they had passed a law enshrining abortion as a right, then all court rulings would become moot.
And… the supreme court is already a captured body for the republicans. Too late. There is going to be a republican in office either next year or in another four. That’s just how US presidencies go – no party holds the wing for very long. Pearl clutching about the makeup of the court is a little late at this point.
