A proper hanging kills instantly, IIRC.

Back to using a new rope.

This may be the dumbest legal argument I've ever heard.

I'd like to know one thing:

Is there ANYTHING the ACLU doesn't like, that doesn't fall under the First Amendment, somehow?????

I think the ACLU is right. Bring back the chair, so everybody knows for damn sure the bastard is suffering.

The American Civil Liberties Union claimed in a federal lawsuit Wednesday that California's lethal injection protocol violates the First Amendment rights of execution witnesses by not allowing them to see if the inmate is experiencing pain before death.

Is this for real? scrappleface would be proud of this one. I'm speechless.

I'll bet the aclu wouldn't have any objections if it were used for euthanasia, though.

Well, the ACLU probably believes the U.S. Constitution violates the Constitution. Screw 'em.

Since when does the First Amendment say we have the right to know everything the government knows?

I have the First Amendment right to secret CIA files, too!!

A firing squad circumvents those problems nicely.

Leave it to the ACLU to invent the most baseless legal theories that only leaves one laughing.

We don't need to illustrate absurdity. The ACLU is doing it quite well all on its own..../insulting vulgarity inserted here

Maybe if the ACLU worried about murder and rape violating the first amendment....

Well, I guess the only way to handle this is to mike him up and have Oprah interview him.

"Any last words?"
"Ouch! That stung"
"Anything else?"
"JFK's killer was ...ugh" (beeeeeeeep)

"The ACLU does not have a right to determine what method the state of California should use in carrying out the death penalty." He said the

I don't believe that is the motive of the ACLU. They want to make all executions illegal, this is just one step for them.

Would the ACLU object if a 12 person firing squad was used?

Second Amendment violation?

Anyone who thinks sedating and then killing a convicted murderer is cruel and unusual punishment needs help. What do they want death to be for killers? Pleasant?

What I cannot see is how a news organization would have standing to challenge the execution process.

The paralyzing drug, according to the lawsuit, "makes it impossible for witnesses to determine whether death row inmates in California are being subjected to substantial and unnecessary pain before dying."

Okay...this should solve that problem.
