"The U.S. Supreme Court is now functionally a rubber stamp for executions…” but don’t you dare call the Rethuglifascist majority illegitimate! (You might hurt their feelings.)

I didn’t vote for Clinton the first time because of his decision to refuse clemency for Ricky Ray Rector (didn’t vote for Bush neither). The whole thing was just so cynical and performative.

Moral consistency isn't a requirement on the right these days. Hell, it's not even a recommendation for the "pro-life" movement. I'm not sure whether the driving motivation for them is retribution on the hoors and force them back into the 50s, a desire to get more arrows for christ/domestic babies for 'merica, or a toxic combination of both.

Yep. And then the gas chamber was presented as another “more humane” alternative, so long as you don’t mind watching someone gasping for breath.

Hanging was always a problem because it was so unpredictable. You could never guarantee that a person’s neck would break and if it didn’t, the victim dangled there until they suffocated, which took several minutes.

If you wanted a guaranteed quick death, nothing really beats the guillotine. Of course, it’s messy and gruesome.

OD on heroin, or fentanyl, mixed with alcohol would work. But the Optics...

It's also not certain, so you might have to try again.

I'm an "easy stick" but the last time the "draw" left a bruise the size of a quarter coin on my arm. So much for "professionals "

and if the Right get rid of the the death sentence, then they won't be able to move onto the death camps they so desperately (and not so secretly) want - after all they are always accusing everyone else of wanting death camps and or death panels

Good for you. But I want to see Tangerini Mussolini die in prison. And I want all the big-wigs involved in Jan. 6 go to prison for a long time. If they don't then that just means that rich white people can get away with their shite. So much for "and justice for all".
