I just saw that both NY and NJ recently eliminated it, but your governor wants it for cop killers and terrorists. You're right, it should never have stopped for those 2 groups.
Why limit it to cop killers and terrorists only? If someone I dearly loved was killed in cold blood, I want the bastard(s) pushing up daisies. So much for "equal" justice.
Spitzer knows the ACLU will fight on anything else. Plus, it was beaten down before ( in the 70s, I think) and brought back and quietly dumped again.
We have had several trooper shootings in the state, some police ... how do we let people who do that, out in the open, get away with it? Same w/terrorists... it should be a given. I seriously think with a Dem controlled NY, it won't return and we will keep on paying for the nice little cell, free medical care, meals... etc....
