If the law is passed it might be grounds to block Assange's
extradition on espionage charges, since, reportedly, UK does not
extradite to capital punishment nations (although thinks black sites
for accidental-death torture are god's will be done).
Nor doesn't mean that UK would not obediently also legalize official
murder to make Big Turd and Toe Jam Barr happy. Action Official
Secrets Act protected. Ka-chink.
What's the bounty for handing over Julian (by way of Gitmo)?

US Appeals Court Greenlights Trump's Plan to Restore Federal Executions

The ruling issued by the US Court of Appeals for the District
of Columbia Circuit could effectively pave the way for carrying out
the first death penalty at the federal level since 2003.
The US Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit
has issued a 2-1 ruling in favour of resuming federal executions by
eliminating an injunction that blocked four capital punishment
sentences from being carried out.
In December, the US Supreme Court blocked a request by the
Trump administration to resume federal executions after a
16-year-long hiatus. The White House announced its intention to
resume federal capital punishments in July.
The death penalty is currently banned in 21 US states.
Executions are normally carried out by states rather than the
federal government.
Capital punishment by the US federal government can be given
for treason, espionage, murder, and several other serious crimes.
The last federal execution took place on 18 March 2003
against a former soldier for rape and murder. He was given a lethal injection.
