Correction: People who are convicted of capital crimes.
The system is not perfect, so not everyone who committed a crime is convicted and not everyone who's convicted committed a crime.

A lot of assholes on Texas' death row just went into full-pucker mode, as the Supreme Court of the United States just upheld Kentucky's lethal injection protocols -- which are the same protocols used here in Texas.
And here in Texas where we, you know, actually carry out the death penalty from time-to-time.

Unfortunately, the anti-death penalty crowd (lawyers and judges) make a good living off of dragging out death penalty cases. I don't see the pace picking up any time soon. Won't be long before they'll be back in court with another new "theory".

I wish this victory were as sweeping as you make it out to be, but on a careful read of the document it doesn't seem so. It is noted in several places that this was not a challenge to nor an argument over the justification of the death penalty.
Instead it was narrowly-focused debate over the mechanics of one method of administering capital punishment. And even on that front they seemed to suggest that further debate over the use of pancuronium bromide is expected.
I doubt liberals will ever stop probing for ways to challenge capital punishment.

Thank you George W for picking GREAT justices.
Now we must vote in McCain so he can pick perhaps 3 more.
Whooo hooo! Elections do matter.

For that matter, Scalia's concurrance is another model of clarity of thought.

Do you realize, conservatives, that this ruling absolutely destroys any chance in the foreseeable future that the U.S. might become a European Union member?

It is so hard to tell the difference between Herman being sarcastic and Herman being serious.

Only a liberal cannot distinguish between an innocent life to a convicted, evil murderer. That is how utterly dumb they are. ww

Only a conservative can claim every life is sacred, and then add caveats where they say they actually weren't talking about all lives, just some of them, and they get to decide which ones are sacred and which are not, and they sometimes base it on jury findings (which have been shown to be less than 100%), but sometimes they just base it on what they think God wants, even though they condemn those who they say are acting like God. That is how utterly insane they are.

Yeah, Brian. The "pro-choice" crowd has a much better record. They know that 100% of their victims are innocent.
