I have a moral position against the death penalty. But I took an oath of office to uphold it. Following an oath of office is also a moral obligation.

As much as the constitutional argument matters to me, what really matters to me is this sort of moral question of can we order somebody to risk their lives about a military mission if we're not willing to debate, vote, and say that the military mission matters?
