Who came up with the idea that convicted murderers shouldn't have to suffer cruel and unusual punishment? There are certain crimes that deserve to be singled out for special types of punishment. The two career criminals who raped and murdered the doctor's family in Cheshire Ct. are a good example. They brutalized, raped and burned his wife and two young daughters to death. There is no such thing as cruel and unusual when it comes to the punishment these two scumbags deserve.

I don't know, but the key is cruel AND unusual...... we just need to make "cruel" punishments more usual; then we'll still be in compliance.

For example: Say we decide that strapping a convict to a pile of ants (to their death) is valid punishment for those that kill their rape victims. All we need to do is apply the law equally, it is only cruel, but not unusual.
