In light of a recent thread, I would like to set up a formal debate regarding the death penalty: "The U.S. federal government should abolish the death penalty."
Who's interested? Who wants to support this statement? Who wants to argue against it?
First come, first serve. I will set up the debate thread when we are ready to go.
