Point & Glick

The Mary­land State Sen­ate has voted to amend the death penalty bill. I guess at the last minute they decided that the bill, instead of repeal­ing the death penalty, should not repeal the death penalty.

I think Sen. Raskin said it best:

Amend­ments say­ing that the death penalty can be imposed only with DNA evi­dence and with more than just eye­wit­ness tes­ti­mony do not change cur­rent law but are merely “cam­ou­flage for the sta­tus quo.”

Why is our state leg­is­la­ture wast­ing everyone’s time mak­ing bills that serve absolutely no pur­pose whatsoever?
