Kennedy Plans Fight to Rewrite Capital Punishment Law
In February the Senate may take up a bill to rewrite federal capital punishment after Sen. Edward Kennedy gutted Sen. Strom Thurmond’s proposal. The Furman v. Georgia decision in 1972 prompted state rewrites. Thurmond pressed S.32, but it stalled before debate as bipartisan delay pushed action to next year.

A Conservative View on S.32 Death Penalty Expansion
Kilpatrick argues S.32 would extend federal capital punishment from 16 to 23 offenses and rewrite procedures. It would bar executions of minors and pregnant or mentally disabled defendants, require juror deliberation on mitigating and aggravating factors, and enable full appellate review. Kennedy’s racial justice amendment, opposed by supporters, could end capital punishment if a pattern of racial disparity exists. The piece notes broad public support for capital punishment and urges vigilance over the bill.
