I say good. Bring back Old Sparky.
What I find extremely odd is that the Supreme Court has agreed to review the lethal injection challenges at all. I mean, if they do overturn lethal injection then what method of execution could possibly be permissible??
It was just a year or two ago that some fat Floridian (or maybe it was in Alabama) challenged lethal injection, saying that applying it through all his fat was cruel and unusual (I think the idea was that they might need to cut him, or something). Anyway, the Supreme Court denied review.
So, why would this even be reviewed now? To my knowledge, there is no split in the lower courts. No Circuit Court has prohibited lethal injection as being "cruel and unusual", right? Maybe the liberals have reason to think that Kennedy might swing to their side. That's possible, and who the heck really knows what Kennedy will do???
