US Rep. Tim Burchett wants to "execute" certain people but apparently doesn't understand how the law actually works

I usually try to come up with a witty remark or two about the idiots that I feature on this blog, but I'm recovering from the flu, so I'll be lazy and just add some screenshots of other insults people made.

Of course, this has to be taken with a grain of salt because his focus is not on the many Republicans and assorded wealthy Republican donors in the files. He's focused primarily on the Clintons. But if all these allegations are true, then everyone should be tried in a court of law regardless of party affiliation. And they should be held to the same standard of "justice" that they enforce on the poor. 

But here is why the comment below is stupid. First, Kennedy v. Louisiana, 554 U.S. 407 (2008) ended death penalty for any offenses that do not involve murder. Yes, states are passing legislation to make certain sexual offenses eligible for the death penalty. However, they're illegal, and mostly symbolic, a Hail Mary campaign slogan from the laughable failure that was the 2024 Ron DeathSantis presidential campaign. (LOL at Christina Pushaw for her performance as the worst campaign manager in US history.) Thus, there have been no persons convicted of sex offenses that do not involve murder sitting on death row for 30 years. 

So, are these executions he is calling for include the majority of the tRump admiistration?

Rep. Tim Burchett made explosive remarks regarding the still-sealed files tied to Jeffrey Epstein, saying the full, unredacted documents would “haunt you for the rest of your life.”

Speaking about crimes involving minors, Burchett argued the country needs the “guts” to carry out executions for convicted child predators.

“It’s the truth! We need to execute them. We need to quit with this nonsense of them sitting on death row for 30 years,” Burchett said.

He went further, describing the crimes as “evil” and “satanic,” adding that those responsible would “go straight to the pits of hell.”

The Epstein case continues to fuel political debate as lawmakers on both sides push for greater transparency surrounding sealed records and the identities of individuals connected to the late financier.
