there are 2 deah row in florida that have been stayed by SCOTUS in the last week or so. Why would you let one in another state die if it's for a very similar reason (leathal injection cruel and unusual here).
Personally i don't think it's cruel and unusual, and i doubt the scotus does in the end.....
If they think lethal injection is cruel and unusual, I would like to explain to them the proper way to execute brutal murderers of young girls like those who are appealing. All that's needed is 50 feet of 1/2" rope and a tall oak tree with one sturdy branch. That's how law and order was kept 100 years ago, and it would be kept much better today if executions were carried out within 90 days of sentencing instead of 25 or 30 years later.
And what's with the "cruel and unusual" nonsense anyway? The authors of the 8th Amendment didn't mean that a brutal killer has to be executed by overfeeding him Snicker bars and milkshakes until he has a stroke. They just meant that he can't be burned at the stake the way the Spanish did back then or drawn and quartered the way the English did. I have absolutely no doubt that they considered hanging to be the proper penalty for 1st degree murder.
