The only legitimate interpretation of the constitution is original intent. During the founders time hanging was the death penalty norm. Maybe we should return to that method.

BTW I was a watching a movie about a guy named starkweather who went on a killing spree in 1958. The time from his arrest to his execution was just 17 months.

I think that Giuseppe Zangara holds the US record - crime on February 15th, execution on March 20th.
