Montana Votes to Abolish the Death Penalty

It was a very close vote with what looks like quite an interesting debate:

After a lengthy debate in which lawmakers quoted Jesus, Thomas Jefferson and Ted Bundy, the Senate voted 27-22 to approve the measure.

Yet, the Democratic-controlled senate decided to go against public opinion that favoured the death penalty by moving to abolish it.

Onward, Montana!

(I think the fact that Montana borders Canada has something to do with it. Next thing you know, they'll turn into a haven of that dreaded "socialism" we have here too. This isn't your daddy's wild, wild west anymore.)
