Feingold to Introduce Anti-Death Penalty Legislation
Pete Karas of the Progressive Racine Blog sends us the good news that Wisconsin Senator Russ Feingold, who introduced 11 bills in Congress on its first day yesterday, plans to introduce these two pieces of legislation in the next few weeks: Federal Death Penalty Act which would abolish the federal death penalty, and the National Death Penalty Moratorium Act, which
would place a moratorium on executions by the federal government and encourage the states to do the same while a national blue ribbon commission reviews the fairness of the administration of the death penalty.
