The constitution prohibits cruel and unsusual punishment.
It does not guarantee a painless execution.

The key word is "and." It's not cruel, "or" unusual. We just need to make cruel punishments, "usual" in cases like this.
I vote for "castration by mallet," followed by "burned at the stake."

“The constitution prohibits cruel and unsusual punishment.”
While true, please define for me, “cruel and unusual”. Has the Supreme Court defined that phrase?
