In re: Death Penalty Abolition Reaffirmation Act of 2020

In re: Death Penalty Abolition Reaffirmation Act of 2020, 101 M.S.Ct. 120 (2020), was a decision of the United States Supreme Court on August 19, 2020, that reviewed the General Assembly of Dixie's adoption of the Death Penalty Abolition Reaffirmation Act of 2020. The Dixie statute, which purported to abolish the in the state, provide for resentencing, prohibit the import of death penalty drugs by the state corrections department, and proscribe facilitation of executions in foreign jurisdictions by state employees, was held unconstitutional by the Supreme Court of Dixie under a  theory and a supposed violation of the  rights of public employees.

On appeal, a unanimous Supreme Court eviscerated the legal reasoning of the state court as thoroughly flawed and found the statute to be compliant with the Commerce Clause and First Amendment. The decision of the Supreme Court of Dixie was reversed.
