    The Left's Hollow Complaints About Hobby Lobby

    Research | Articles | by Peter Berkowitz
    Friday, July 11, 2014

    Progressives are fond of saying that they stand for empathy and compromise, and are quick to blame conservatives for polarizing our politics.

    WITH DEATH DO US PART? Reforming the Death Penalty

    Research | Videos
    Thursday, November 7, 2002

    It's been more than 25 years since the Supreme Court reinstated the death penalty in 1976. For most of that time, the number of executions in this country climbed steadily higher. In the past several years, however, the death penalty has come under increasing criticism. Executions have fallen nationwide from a high of 98 in 1998 to 66 in 2001. Two states, Illinois and Maryland, declared moratoria on the death penalty over concerns that the death penalty could not be administered fairly. Is the death penalty immoral in and of itself? If not, is it unconstitutional? What is required to ensure that the death penalty is administered with fairness, justice, and accuracy?
