Excellent explanatory, opinion piece by @ebruenig on death penalty protections gutted after OK City bombing. This is what opinion writing should be: well researched, well reasoned, publicly interested. nytimes.com/2021/01/18/opi…

As someone who ❤️ #freedom the chatter re ejecting MOCs for a vote they took is very disconcerting. Those who planned and incited actual criminal acts clearly fall under the 14th Amd. But dangerous territory ejecting MOCs for doing something the constitution explicitly allows.
