when U.S. District Judge Jeremy Fogel stayed the execution of convicted rapist/murderer Michael Morales lest Morales suffer any pain.

The constitution prohibits cruel and unusual punishment. It does not guarantee a painless execution.

Yes, and how were convicts executed in the 1790’s? Hanging! A heck of a lot more “painful” than just being put to sleep gently after 25 years on death row.
