re: All but a few developed nations have abolished the death penalty. It is time Americans acknowledged that the death penalty cannot be made to comply with the Constitution and is in every way indefensible.'

I agree! The death penalty is not ethically supportable. We need to instead kick the condemned out of the country - making them 'dead to us,' but not necessarily 'dead.'

If no foreign country wants our hardened crimininals, I favor putting them into a small rubber boat and pulling it out to sea.

The last paragraph of the NY Times editorial says it all!

So far, under this horrifying system, 17 innocent people sentenced to death have been exonerated and released based on DNA evidence, and 112 other people based on other evidence. All but a few developed nations have abolished the death penalty. It is time Americans acknowledged that the death penalty cannot be made to comply with the Constitution and is in every way indefensible.
