If there's someone so monstrous that you're contemplating going around due process and hiring an assassin to kill him, surely passing a law isn't so difficult?
Hiring an Assassin? That's a bold step from suggesting that $150 bucks for a gun + ammo would be a better solution than spending in the millions to keep him incarcerated.
I also never suggested that they should go around Due Process. I suggested that they should add to it, by including the death penalty.
Personally, I think "passing a law" and the bureaucratic-ness that is entailed in that is not the way to do it. In Norway it could be far easier, I'm looking at it from an "american law passing" situation, where it would get dragged through 3 terms of congressman before it was tabled, because of the ridiculous amount of filibustering that it would see due to special interest lobbying.

And isn't my prerogative as a person to question that? Or am I not allowed to question methods?
