Roberts' opinion did leave open subsequent challenges to lethal injection practices if a state refused to adopt an alternative method that significantly reduced the risk of severe pain.
Justices Ruth Bader Ginsburg and David Souter dissented.
perhaps those idiots who desented could agree that sticking scissors in the base of the head of those criminals, scrable their brains and sucking them out would be main stream since it's those very same judges who feel if you do this to an unborn baby is perfectly normal.

It's a good idea, but the Constitution bars cruel and unusual and that would be unusual as it pertains to the death penalty. Personally, I think lethal injection is unusual. We should go back to the rope.
To be honest with you, I've always thought that lethal injection was the wussified version of execution. The instruction manual should be subtitled, "Killingfor Pansies".
I prefer life in prison chained to a concrete slab, but if we're going to execute people, we should do it with some dignity. Use a nice hemp rope, or a .30-06 for the occasional military execution.

I think the French were on to something, of course you have to discriminate a little more than they did

RE: Lethal injection is OK
Convict them and give them one appeal within a 6 month time period. If that fails to free them, carry out the sentance. This business that keeps them incarcerated for years while they become jail house lawyers stinks.Move them out and free up the beds. That way there will plenty of room for the next batch of criminals.
