Does anyone here really believe that there is a serious Constitutional question as to whether lethal injection is cruel and unusual punishment? As opposed to hanging, or the firing squad, or anything else routinely used when the Constitution was drafted?

The guy pleaded guilty, for God's sake. A good conservative judge would not meddle in state criminal affairs on these facts. This is definitely evidence, albeit not conclusive, that Bush HAS screwed conservatives again.

The details of this case are way to sketchy and the articles on this story are conficting. I would not draw any conclusions on this. Too many people are too willing to jump the gun.
