The possibility of abuse and errors makes it a no-go for me and I was wondering why he went so over board with this. He has a voter base that goes along with this but the people he needs to convince are rather repelled by this. Also "death penalty for drug dealers"? Seriously? The war on drugs is getting reverted in parts and he wants to ramp it up with death penalties? Many states have abolished the death penalty. How does that even work then? I'm not from the US.

We also have federal courts here with something called dual sovereignty. I assume that's what is meant here.
And I actually think federal courts and crimes should be A LOT more limited than they are. Frankly, I think federal courts should be mostly for issues between states. It's a power that does get abused.
