States have been careful to adopt procedures that do not seek to inflict pain and should not be barred from carrying out executions even if prison officials sometimes make mistakes in administering drugs, Scalia said. There is no painless requirement in the Constitution, Scalia said.

I guess the victims don’t deserve the right to die with dignity.

What’s the rational behind the three drug cocktail? Seems a massive dose of some opiate would just put them to sleep forever - quickly and cheaply.

This is an ignorant intervention. Everyone agrees that lethal injection is painless when properly administered.
The worry is over those hypothetical instances when it isn’t properly administered.
But we don’t know it wasn’t properly administered because dead men tell no tales.
Solution: a step-by-step written procedure to insure the chemicals are administered properly.

So a beloved family pet can be put to sleep with a shot, but it’s not good enough for a convicted murderer?? Bull.

You have the right to die with dignity, said Joshi, a political science and religion major at New Jersey's Rutgers UniversityWonder where he read that in the Constitution

I agree.
Why not simply hire an anesthesiologist and get on with the executions?
To: NormsRevenge
Let me guess: 5-4 decision to support the Constitution, which doesn’t give “pain” any air at all in the text but is twisted to accommodate the Leftists’ interpretation that an axe-murderer deserves humane treatment? A serial killer/rapist deserves 20 years of appeals including complaining about “his” suffering?

The article would make it appear a majority do support retaining and enforcing lethal injection, he’s in the larger group, most are.. vote-wise, this will probably be a 6-3 or 7-2 or better.
We may actually see California using their new set-up this year at this rate. Hopefully, the local CA Judge will pull the plug and let it rip shortly after this decision is announced and stay(s) lifted.

Even cheaper (and who cares if it is as quick?), might I suggest this . . .

Get A Rope. This is BS! Do it in a football stadium at half time.
It’s called a “Death Penalty”. Not euthanasia.
To: NormsRevenge
The lefty Justices are more than welcome to give the drug cocktail a try to see whether it constitutes “cruel and unusual punishment”
this piece re-titled to and running on wire as
Court divided over lethal injection case
and
Supreme Court divided over lethal injection
