In the US, 32 states have a functioning system for capital punishment. We have 50 states, despite Obama's claim that there are 57. Of the other 18 states, only 5 have enacted the ban in the correct way. That is, by having it proposed and passed by the House, approved by the Senate and signed (into law) by the state's Executive. The other 13 states are in some form of disfuction due to judicial activism. Having two or three activist judges throw out an initiative that was passed buy 80% of the voters is tyrany, plain and simple.
