This is a real consequence of the death penalty: It warps everyone's ethics around it. Prosecutors put it on the table and coerce (often false) confessions or (often false) testimonies. Lawyers stall with bullshit challenges, but what else can they do? Life is on the line. — PolitiTweet.org

i love twitter for several reasons but chief among them is that before this website you really had to be on some specialized forums if you wanted advice on how to patch drywall from someone on several no-fly lists. now you can get that quality content instantly anytime — PolitiTweet.org

@ebruenig Jesus might have got that one wrong. Appeal to authority doesn't work unless you're talking exclusively to believers.

Thing about capital punishment is nobody would have to argue for the lives of people you don't want to hear about if their lives weren't at stake. We could avoid this whole thing. — PolitiTweet.org

@reluctantcentr3 yeah people always say stuff like this, "i actually respect this irredeemable piece of shit, whom i am glad is dead, a lot more than you did. it's really sad you wrote this but good he's dead" — PolitiTweet.org

David Cox was everything Mississippi could've wanted in a death row volunteer: An unrepentant killer with a sadistic streak. He was also the key to solving a years-old disappearance. But could he be moved to help? From the April issue: https://t.co/tzihtfQBFh — PolitiTweet.org

@willystaley man...you remember watchin these guys go at it though? 30-40 people was like the perfect size for it. you'd get one, maybe two inexplicably argumentative, provocative goofballs in there who'd come to class in, like, a business suit. and they'd just make every day enjoyable — PolitiTweet.org
