Back In Business

"Additional executions will be scheduled at a later date."
Hello.
Those words above came from the Department of Justice. To be clear: The United States Department of Justice. Not North Korea. Or Iran. Or some enemy of our people. The Attorney General of the United States, William Barr, reinstated the Federal Death Penalty and immediately scheduled five executions.
Whoops. Buried the lede.
The United States will start executing prisoners on death row after twenty years of what a lot of us consider common sense. How do we teach "Thous shalt not kill?" By killing, of course. Thoose five inmates are all in the same federal prison located in Terre Haute, Indiana. No word on how these folks found their way to the top of the list, but BilBarr instructed Hugh Hurwitz, the acting director of the Bureau of Prisons, to adopt the revision to the Federal Execution Protocol, a maneuver that “[clears] the way for the federal government to resume capital punishment after a nearly two decade lapse, and bringing justice to victims of the most horrific crimes.”
Justice for horror. 
Sounds  like a good trade.
But why were there no executions for two decades and now suddenly there are five, with more on tap? How about the way that a federal killing can take place in a state where no such killing is legal. According to the state. And how about this: Indiana has executed ninety-four men between the years 1897 and 2009. Some sloppy math suggests that's less than one a year. Now BilBarr wants to catch up. There are currently sixty-two prisoners across the country on Federal Death Row. Fifty-six of them are housed in Terre Haute. 
So, the United States Department of Justice is back in the business of killing those it deems unfit to live. They can be killed by your federal government for the following offenses:  treason, espionage, murder, piracy, large-scale drug trafficking, or attempted murder of a witness, juror, or court officer in certain cases. The last government induced death was in 2003. Maybe someone should tell the "President" about this.
