God Save This Court...From Justice Stevens et. al.

The US Supreme Court on Wednesday heard arguments about the application of lethal injection as a means to execute condemned criminals. At issue is whether the chemicals injected into the victim -- no, wait a minute -- victim would describe the person no longer living because of the inmate's criminal actions -- cause pain while they're waiting to die. Gosh, we just couldn't have the poor prisoner feeling pain on his deathbed now, could we?

As expected, our most liberal justices didn't let us down. Justice Stevens commented that animals would not be euthanized in such a manner. Good heavens, Justice Stevens -- are you actually comparing convicted murderers and rapists lawfully sentenced to dogs and cats? What does this say about his concern for the rights of the victims' families? Can't you see the exchange between the judge and the grieving mother? "Gee, Mrs. Smith, too bad about your teenage daughter's brutal murder (that she bled to death scared and alone, actually), but her killer might feel a bit of discomfort as he passes from this life. This concerns me..... " It's time for this man to retire.

Bleeding Heart Breyer questioned the need for more pain medication. The issue here, Mr. Justice, is that the execution works, not that the condemned man hurts some. Again, did his murder victim get any anesthesia as this monster sliced her throat? I doubt it.

Justice Ginsburg questioned attorneys about the risk of prisoners dying an excruciating death with the current mix of chemicals. At the risk of repeating myself, SOMEONE ALREADY DIED AN EXCRUCIATING DEATH, thanks to this criminal. This lack of regard for victims' rights is detestable.

Thank God Justice Scalia is a voice of reason in this sea of liberalism. Pointing out that the Supreme Court has never held that a state must use a method that causes the least amount of pain, he nailed the issue by stating, "Hanging was not a quick and easy way to go." Amen!

Hopefully a majority of the court will see that the only thing cruel and unusual here is the fact that families must continue their lives without their loved ones, and rule accordingly.
