We agree that the justice system needs major repairs. I would begin with a Constitutional amendment banning elected partisan judges and prosecutors.

We agree that in many cases justice is not accomplished.

We agree that the death penalty should be applied rarely and only after stringent safeguards.

We disagree as to whether among the cases which result in capital punishment there are any in which justice is accomplished.

We disagree as to whether the solution is to simply scrap the death penalty rather than do what we are obliged to as both Catholics and citizens and fix our justice system.

Had Timothy McVeigh not been executed, justice would not have been served.
