“Two anesthesiologists scheduled to administer the lethal drugs for California’s last scheduled execution back in February of 2006, withdrew at the last minute. They cited their professional ethics as physicians, which barred them from assisting at executions.”

Bet it doesn’t stop them from killing the unborn .....

The Sacramento Bee opposes the death penalty? I'm stunned.

The death penalty can be applied fairly. You have liberal judges standing in the way of its full application.

Two anesthesiologists scheduled to administer the lethal drugs for California's last scheduled execution back in February of 2006, withdrew at the last minute. They cited their professional ethics as physicians, which barred them from assisting at executions.

If their "professional ethics" prevented from taking part in the execution, why did they wait for "the last minute"? Shouldn't they have declined much earlier? This sounds like a political stunt to delay those executions.

I still want to know why you can’t just hang these clowns or shoot them in the back of the head?

Big questions still remain about death penalty

No, LITTLE questions still remain about the death penalty. Trivial, picayune questions. Immaterial questions. Dishonest, delaying, obfuscating questions asked by liars, fools, and traitors.

The big questions about the death penalty were answered a long time ago ... in the Old Testament.

This could be done quite easily and painlessly with carbon monoxide gas, or massive overdoses of opiates.

Myself, I'm hoping for the comeback of public hanging.
