The Supreme Court Will Decide If Lethal Injection Violates The Eighth Amendment

[DemocratSinceBirth]

I was watching NBC News and Brian Williams made it sound as if there is a question how they will decide...

As we all know five beats four or six beats three and the constitutionality of lethal injection will be upheld...

1. I don't know, they could decide we should go back to hanging. Or maybe stoning. n/t

3. Don't Give Them Ideas...

It will be interesting to see how Stevens, Kennedy, Breyer, and Ginsburg vote...

2. They'd probably prefer we brought back the

guillotine or the electric chair. Those are soooo humane!:sarcasm:

5. The electric chair is too 20th century for this court. They are trying to carry us back

further than that.

Maybe the guillotine...

4. My thought too: already decided

Executions are a conservative value.

6. There Have Been More Five To Four Decisions Than In Decades

It all comes down to math;five beats four...

[Benhurst]

7. Given the composition of the current court, I guess

burning at the stake will become the preferred method of execution in the United States.

8. Maybe They Will Bring Back Crucifixion
