"This is a perfect example of false compassion"

Looks to me like the first deliberate step in having some black robed autocrat or another declare lethal injection "unconstitutional" because it's "cruel and unusual".

Executions are so scarce that they are certainly becoming unusual...

They need to become a lot more usual.

People erroneously think it is cruel to kill heartless murderers. Nothing could be further from the truth. This was from another article:

"Ancient Jewish wisdom warns that if you apply compassion when you should be applying justice, one day you will apply justice when you should be applying compassion, which is one definition of tyranny."
