Throwing down the hammer of justice, and putting down our nation's worst criminals should be a privilege fit for only our state's top leaders and finest patriots. That is why our brave elected governors should be proud to accept the honor of wiping out convicted murderers themselves, whether by hanging, a rifle shot, electric chair, or lethal injection. Only a pro-crime coward would say no to such an honor.

And federal executions must be performed by our fearless President and/or Vice President.
