Wait, a technical admin can remove quoted portions of their own posts from somebody else's post? That seems like abuse of authority to me.

yes and every other word in that amendment imposes restrictions on it, which means it does not explicitly say the state can do this. It envisions a world in which the state can do this provided set requirements are met. If none of them are met, the state cannot de facto do it. This is exactly what I mean about having no respect for the bill of rights. You see it not as a restriction on the state but as somehow granting the state certain powers.

the Bill of Rights does not confer powers or authorities on the US government.

Before you get too excited, once I stepped away from the emotion of it, yeah: I'm still mostly anti-death penalty.
