44% : They struck 10 miles from where I lived in Michigan, a state with no death penalty.
43% : Doing so essentially affirmed capital punishment.
43% : Prosecutors still can seek the death penalty in appropriate cases, and juries can impose it.
43% : The point is this: Whether the death penalty is used or not, in the end it backs up civil order.
42% : This could come back to haunt him if he runs for president, because the death penalty is supported heavily by voters in several swing states.
42% : On the other side among the swing states, Michigan and Wisconsin don't have the death penalty.
41% : Turning back to California, at this point an initiative banning the death penalty would probably pass.
41% : But there's another aspect to the death penalty: 
40% : If crime rises high enough in California, politicians will campaign on bringing back the death penalty.
33% : But if you resist strongly enough government laws, regulations and taxes, government agents will come and shoot you.
