In October 2020, an appellate court overturned the death sentence issued to Boston Marathon bomber Dzhokhar Tsarnaev.
There was outrage among many when the decision was handed down, but that may not last very long.
In a rather shocking move, the Department of Justice has petitioned the Supreme Court to look at the case in an effort to overturn the appeal and reinstate the death penalty.
Not a Liberal Stance
I say shocking because the death penalty is usually associated with conservatives and often fought on the liberal side of the aisle.
The idea that Merrick Garland has approved this petition is going to floor many on the left.
In its petition, the DOJ stated, “The court of appeals improperly vacated the capital sentences recommended by the jury in one of the most important terrorism prosecutions in our nation’s history.
“This court should reverse the decision below and put this case back on track toward a just conclusion.”
We have yet to see a lot of outrage on the left, but that may be because they don’t even know this petition has been filed.
While most mainstream media outlets have reported on the brief, the story is buried, not appearing on most front pages.
When White House Press Secretary Andrew Bates was asked about the brief, he stated, “The President believes the Department should return to its prior practice, and not carry out executions.”
This is a clear indicator that Joe Biden is playing both ends against the middle.
While the DOJ seems to be carrying out some orders from this administration, Biden is still claiming the DOJ is acting independently of the White House.
That is a rather convenient stance to take on such a controversial issue.

Yes!! People died because of this rodent. Why should he be allowed to live.
Banning the death penalty is THE stupidest thing 27 states have done
Well, good for him. He got one right!
I was thinking buffoon Joe wanted to add him to his staff of losers.
He would probably like to see his brother again.
Give him a ticket to travel to see him.
slow agonizing painful death is required for this subhuman Scum!
Say what you will about extremist Muslims, etc. Sharia Law (eye for an eye) should be the only law needed to cull the heard and stop the death and destruction in America today.
One day bleeding heart liberal citizens will realize that but not this day!
Then again, maybe Joe Biden really does not have a clue what is happening.
