“Or you can do it my way: cement mixer truck, bowling balls, concrete blocks, and captured traitor. Mix well.”
I like the way you think.

Figured you would, which was why I pinged you. I suggested it in public once and was told that it would be UNCONSTITUTIONAL, since it was cruel and unusual, and violated the recipient's Fifth Amendment rights.
I told the junior college graduate [maybe] involved that he needed to read the part of the 5th Amendment that came after the word *except* (repeated here to save anyone not familiar with it from having to look it up:)
No person shall be held to answer for a capital, or otherwise infamous crime, unless on a presentment or indictment of a Grand Jury, except in cases arising in the land or naval forces, or in the Militia, when in actual service in time of War or public danger; nor shall any person be subject for the same offence to be twice put in jeopardy of life or limb; nor shall be compelled in any criminal case to be a witness against himself, nor be deprived of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law; nor shall private property be taken for public use, without just compensation.
As for that little matter of *cruel & unusual* punishment, [which, to me sounds like a GREAT name for either a DC lawfirm, or a heavy-metal rock band] which is in the 8th Amendment and not the 5th, it prohibits cruel and unusual punishments [plural] from being inflicted, and I only wanted to inflict one. Besides, if it's inflicted frequently on multiple deserving individuals, it's no longer *unusual,* right?
Keep on Lurkin' my FRiend!
