Objections from local communities — including Native American tribes, who've had quite enough of the federal government executing their members — don't matter. Or rather: They could matter. Prosecutorial discretion is another factor in the arbitrariness of capital punishment. — PolitiTweet.org

Their moratorium didn't hold, but the idea that capital punishment was repaired in the interim is incorrect. If the citizens of a state vote to ban the death penalty, a person convicted there can still receive it — if they accidentally, unknowingly happen to be on federal land. — PolitiTweet.org

Prosecutors can elect to pursue capital punishment in districts where it's legal, or they can elect not to do so. They don't owe anyone an explanation as to why one convicted murderer was sentenced to life and another very similar case resulted in death. It's their prerogative. — PolitiTweet.org
