Supreme Court Allows Lethal Injection for Execution. “Roberts said ‘a condemned prisoner cannot successfully challenge a state’s method of execution merely by showing a slightly or marginally safer alternative.’” Under the 1988 death penalty law, no method of execution is stipulated.

In this rather gruesome task, it seems states’ rights are fully upheld ... in more ways than one.
