Looks like the Dems will be going into 2014 in save your ass mode :laugh:



A bill that was proposed by Maryland Democrat Rep. Donna Edwards and seven other Democrats, earlier this year, would eliminate the possibility of imposing the death penalty for a variety of federal offenses. Among those crimes would be treason and espionage. The bill has been largely ignored in the media, but recently surfaced at The Hill (http://thehill.com/blogs/floor-action/house/193292-dem-bill-ends-death-penalty-for-murder-treason-espionage).According to HR 3741 (http://cdn.freedomoutpost.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/12/BILLS-113hr3741ih.pdf), the Federal Death Penalty Abolition Act, the death penalty could not be enacted for assassination or kidnapping that would result in the death of the president, the vice president or a member of Congress.
