From: "We will fight the illegal enslaving of millions of black people across the country."

Slavery is still at least potentially legal. There is nothing really to stop Congress from giving people convicted of LWOP or death penalty crimes the option of choosing slavery as an alternative (at least for federal crimes). if you don't believe me, read the text of the 13th Amendment slowly.

It's much easier to redefine a problem away than it is to solve it.
