"I'm terribly troubled by the fact that the second drug seems to cause all risk of excruciating pain," Justice John Paul Stevens said.
I said it in the BN thread. unless you have a someone sitting around complaining about how much it hurt to die by lethal injection, I'm just not sure what you base something like this on.
but then of course, the point changed from "excruciating pain" at the beginning of the story to "die with dignity" towards the end.
I'm not thrilled that the supremem court is in the business of defining what "pain" is and is not, but I wonder if the roberts court has picked this case up just to affirm lethal injection as a means of capital punishment once and for all.
