Death Penalty Off Table for `06?

Death Penalty Off Table for `06?

The Senate GOP is feinting, but on the House side they're realistic:

"House Speaker Christopher Rants, R-Sioux City, said he will not allow a debate over the death penalty unless he sees evidence that such a proposal has a chance of passing the Senate. He doubts that will happen because Senate Democratic Leader Mike Gronstal of Council Bluffs is a death penalty opponent who can prevent the issue from coming to a vote."

I suspect Iverson will bring it up in the Senate, or at least in the press, anyway. They want the campaign issue, not the actual legislation.

Wonder if Rants has ever met Dennis Miller.
