I'm with you there. Governors preempting all capital punishments on a whim, rather than doing their job and carrying out the will of the people and the ruling of the court, is an absolute mockery to the government structure that put them in that office in the first place.
As much as I would love for them to hang the fuckers by the neck at the sunrise following their conviction, the built in mandatory appeals process for a person sentenced to death has virtually killed off the merits of the sentence, and certainly does not do the state or victims justice.
I say instead of giving them the opportunity to keep venturing out of the prison walls for one appeal after another, just put them in a supermax and let them slowly work their way to their own death sitting inside their cell for 23 hours a day. At least that way the attorneys wouldn't be getting paid.
