Fine, ban lethal injections.
Bring back hanging and firing squads.

The death penalty is under what may be an unprecedented review in the U.S., mostly involving questions about lethal injection, by far the most common method of execution. (Jason Reed/Reuters)
It's recyclable too.
A lethal injection consists of the same 3 chemicals Dr. Kevorkian used in his "mercy killing" on "60 Minutes". Why do liberals believe that those same 3 chemicals are humane when used for a mercy killing, but are not when used for the death penalty?
Hanging is OK worked for Sadamm.

Just bring back Ole Sparky!
I will never understand why we have to kill with kindness. Its total BS. These are killers who killed people and without mercy. Too bad if they feel some pain. Their victims felt lots of pain compared to what these people might feel for a few minutes. Bring back the rope or shoot them.
And made of hemp, a lib friendly product!
I don't know what the heck was wrong with the good old dependable electric chair.
Or even the gas chamber.
Always thought that Madam Guillotine was as humane as anything, as long as the blade was nice and sharp.
No, we can't hang them since their heads might pop off.
I say we should behead them, instead. That way when their heads do pop off, we can say, "See, it worked!"
For research purposes, crash test on death row dummies.
Now if we can only get serial killers to murder their victims more humanely.Careful with that axe,Eugene.
It is cruel AND unusual punishment, not cruel OR unusual punishment. Lethal injection is not unusual and the article even states that it is commonly used. If they think it's cruel - oh well. Don't commit murder and you're all set.
Reporter's behave as if they are scholars on all topics. Glad this one schooled us on the Constitution.
Ok, then run them through a shredder ......
Since hanging was the norm in the time of the Founding Fathers, how could it be deemed cruel and unusual now?????
