    Federal and Military Capital Punishment Discussion

    Several federal death row inmates have been there for decades and exhausted all appeals yet no X dates have been set since McVeigh. I am sure some on military death row must have exhausted appeals as well.

    President Obama has said he favors the death penalty for the worst but X dates haven't been set so he's never had a chance to review a single case! What's the holdup with federal and military executions?

    It looks like I forgot 2 inmates. 1 was executed after McVeigh in 2001 and then Louis Jones jr. in 2003. Both were horrific crimes but of course didn't garner near the attention McVeigh ' s X did.
