Juice 'em

Hat tip to Munford for notice (and the headline) on news that the U.S. Supreme Court, on a 7-2 vote, has upheld the lethal injection cocktail in a Kentucky case. This should reopen the door to death by injection in Arkansas and other states.

Comments

When will they do away with the archaic practice of the death penalty? That's so 17th century.

Why is this surprising, the Supremes lethally injected Bush and Cheney into all of us.

Anyway, the best reason to allow the death penalty at all.. is for war criminals who have killed 100,000's to millions of innocents.

Cocktails for Bushco... or end the death penalty once and for all!

What's remaining? cannibalism suppers in the White House..with a special viewing of the missing torture tapes for entertainment?..while the tortured and smaller criminals die..

Get you lapel pin and vever take it off, less they come for you.

Apparently the US Army & Halliburton have discovered more innovative ways to kill people (unfortunately it was American soldiers who died). Click on blue name for Ted Rall on the subject.

And by so doing put themselves in the same class of those who commit murder...it is called enlightenment and the supremes have none, except for two...we all know that the current administration is run by a dim bulb and seconded by a thug...those who voted for ressumption of execution simply mirror the belief system of those two...it is no more than I expected.


Texas, Louisiana and other states have death penalties for rape. All Things Considered just finished the story.
Justice Stevens worries that if we hand out the death penalty for rape then it can be extended to other non-death crimes. Justice Scalia was ecstatic. "Just like it used to be!"
