Every Republican plus Democratic Senator Fetterman (MI) voted down the resolution which called on the US Government to provide information related to the deaths of:
- Omar Assad
- Shireen Abu Akleh
- Tawfic Abdel Jabbar
- Mohammad Khdour
- Ayşenur Ezgi Eygi
- Amer Rabee
- Khamis Ayyad
- Sayfollah Kamel Musallet
- Nasrallah Muhammad Jamal Abu Siyam
All US citizens that have been killed in Israel.
These resolutions are just the Senate officially invoking it’s investigative power, which has been done multiple times before. The difference is that Republicans plus Fetterman have opted to table that power for the time being. Absolutely wild.
No. Additionally, Tennessee does not have firing squad as a listed method of execution.
TCA § 40-23-114
That’s her only option, outside of the savings clause in (d) which permits any other method if all other methods listed are unconstitutional.
Also for your other question, yes. Things like espionage, high treason, aid and comfort to the enemy, large scale drug trafficking, etc… But usually if it isn’t because you murder someone, it has to be that you’ve done something really bad. Like if you gave tactical blueprints of thermonuclear devices employed by the United States to North Korea and the blueprints for the vehicle to deliver those devices, yeah, that’s getting up there.
