Gavin Newsom wipes out California's death row [548] in historic mass commutation
[FOX] California Gov. Gavin Newsom announced Thursday that he will spare the lives of 548 inmates currently on the state’s death row, effectively clearing capital punishment in the state years after issuing an executive moratorium on executions.

In a letter to constituents, Newsom, a Democrat, declared the state's capital punishment system fundamentally flawed, error-prone, and morally incompatible with California’s core values.

"After nearly 30 years in public office, I have come to understand the limits of what government can justly accomplish," Newsom wrote. "I take this action because I firmly believe that state-sanctioned killing is incompatible with California’s values, undermines the foundations of our legal system, and diminishes each of us." # id) ?>

3 I'll give Newsome and some Judge 90 days to "wipe out" or open the California section of the border wall. The next official Census Day is April, 2030. The clock is ticking.

4 548 victims denied justice. Meanwhile the death penalty will be continued in our streets, homes, business, and schools. When the thugs carry out the death penalty, they have more power than the state.

How long before they just make up a new name for it like "Separated from dependent care"?

Then in a few years start choosing "certain" political agenda based criteria for Separations?
