I don't want the government managing my retirement or killing people.
Don't taze me bro. Don't touch my junk. Don't tread on me.

I don't care for capital punishment at the federal government level.
That being said, I'd rather be killed quickly then spend my life in prison but maybe I'm different like that.
I think it is definitely a state issue as per the Constitution. I personally support it for heinous crimes such a murder and child rapists(along with repeat rapists), but the Feds don't have the right to intervene in whether a state decides to carry it out or not. The only situation, constitutionally speaking, where the US Congress can get involved in the issue is to set a death penalty for an act of treason as per Article 3 Section 3 of the Constitution.

Yes, I really am not going to miss one less scumbag gone from this planet or the amount of fiat FRN's it cost to execute. Really, were worried about cost when a bomber cost Billions or the debt hits Trillions? Who gives a f**k if its 250K to execute a piece of $#@!.

We're being governed ruled by a geriatric Alzheimer patient/puppet whose strings are being pulled by an elitist oligarchy who believe they can manage the world... imagine the utter maniacal, sociopathic hubris!

In practice, no. The corrupted "just us" system is in no way suitable to be handing down sentences of a night in jail, let alone execution. The staggering number of people found to be innocent on death row is enough for me to say shut it down, now.
I agree totally with @Anti Federalist.
There is no spoon.
