The argument always made by those opposed to the means of execution always hang on the Constitutional issue of whether the means are "cruel and unusual" forms of punishment. I can see a loophole in just these three words. Particularly, the word "and"

If the punishment was cruel and common, it would not be unconstitutional.

unusual can be rem,oved simply by applying the death penalty more often. lord knows we’have enough murderers in jail that should not be alive yet for what they’ve done.

As long as none of the executed file a complaint I see no problem with it.
