You may be OK paying to house, feed, and clothe some degenerate for 40, 50, or 60 years, but I am not.
Well what would you prefer:
1. Paying to house, feed, and clothe some degenerate for 40, 50, or 60 years
OR
2. Paying lawyers even MORE MONEY for years to push them through the arduous appeal process the Supreme Court tied to death penalty cases.
And there is no option 3 "well just don't spend that much on appeals then." The only allowed death penalty in America HAS TO abide by the Supreme Court rulings with defacto make the life in prison option cost taxpayers less than the death penalty.
And no option 4 "well just change what the Supreme Court ruled." That would take an amendment that doesn't have nearly enough political support to pass.
So, for the rest of the time America is the nation we are, you have those two options. Pay to keep the degenerates alive, or pay extra to kill them. The bonus of the less expensive option is if the system made a mistake it can be partially fixed like in OP.
