@chrisgeidner@BuzzFeedNews Exactly. But not the death penalty in and of itself. There is a difference. -
@chrisgeidner Just pointing out that the death penalty can be reinstated. That's all. Not to those already sentenced probably. -
@toodeemo I'm well aware of that. And, the ruling is almost certainly going to be appealed immediately. -
@toodeemo But the fact is that the death sentencing law is what creates the death penalty. Without it, there is no death penalty. -
@toodeemo See, e.g., Florida. -
@chrisgeidner Yup. I saw that case, and it was used by the Ala court.
