The combination of chemicals used to kill the man in Florida seemed very strange to me. One to paralyze, one to anesthetize, and one to stop the heart. Why not just kill the guy quickly if you HAVE to do it?

Bring back Ole Sparky! Texas doesn't have any problem putting animals to sleep, Virginia either.

[ICE-FLYER]

Fine...impeach the judge, remove the judge..be very public about it and tell judgs not to take the will of the people from them by constantly acting like and activist.

[untrained skeptic]

12 gauge head shot. Messy, but quick.

It's discomforting to think about, but methods of execution aren't supposed to be comforting, they are supposed to be quick and effective.

[Old Professer]

Feed them to death, like they did in Guantanamo.

[Sam Spade]

This is kinda becoming like a broken record.

California DC judge halts executions, 9th Circuit affirms, USSC and Justice Kennedy says the ruling is wrong, reverses and remands it.

I forget how many times this has happened now.

"Nine Circus"

Werent some of the judges on the ninth circus replaced with more reasonable ones recently?

[randog]

Electric bleachers.

I'd like to listen to your argument regarding abolition of judicial review.

At the federal level Congress can fire (impeach) judges or tell the courts that they cannot review the law. When courts rule in bold faced contradiction (Kelo v. New London) of the Constitution, the judges should be fired. Instead of defending their power to legislate, the congressional rats like the utopian court decisions while the pubbies cringe in fear at being criticized by the old media.

[stop_fascism]

Hang'em high.

[OldFriend]

It can be fixed by a firing squad.

[burzum]

If the needle prick is too painful, I guess the only way to fix it is by execution by JDAM. In that case I guarantee they won't feel a thing.

[Thud]

Insert shotgun into mouth, pointed at top of skull.

Pull trigger.

Instant death would not be a problem. Cleanup of the mess would.

[GreyFriar]

Don't you folks that lead is dangerous and can lead to death from lead poisoning. That is why we can bring back the firing squad. However, if we replace the lead bullets with eco-friendly frozen water or steel, that might be satisfactory.

Thanks for posting the Lincoln Assassin gallows photo. The site is on Ft. McNair, in Washington DC. The exact location for the gallows is now covered by the east end of the post tennis court. and the part of the building attached to the wall is now bachelor officer quarters. It was totally renovated (interior) 3-4 years ago.

[CounterCounterCulture]

The execution of a convicted killer took 34 minutes --

How long does it take 'em to abort a baby?

[sure_fine]

judges like that only want their 5 minutes of fame, could care less what happens because of it

[Brilliant]

We need a complete overhaul of the judiciary. Judges ought not be able to make up the law to satisfy themselves.

Gravity checks from 10,000 feet. bust out the fleet of c-130's.

"When we open the clamshells, you can either jump, or we will push you out."

"What about my parachute?"

"Did you consult with the 9th?"

"No."

"I'm sorry, but I do not have my cell phone with me at this time, it causes brain cancer."

"I need some help!"

"You want me to push?"

"Nooooo!"

"It's a long drop."

[flynmudd]

Not if you put a trash bag over their head first.
