No, The State Cannot Murder People
A public service announcement from Dyskeptic Radio:
There seems to be some confusion over yesterday's death penalty vote. Even after the vote, Wisconsin does not have a death penalty. What passed was an advisory referendum. It said the people want to have the death penalty. It did not, however, put that into effect. It didn't make a new law. The legislature would have to pass it to become law. But with Gov. Doyle reelected and Dems in control of the state senate, that's not going to happen, at least for now.
Got it? Good.
