No matter what method is used, the left will always claim it's cruel and unusual. Perhaps what is needed here is a definition of terms; let the Supremes tell us exactly what makes something cruel and what is unusual. Once it has been decided, any means of execution can be measured against that standard. Such parameters as pain threshold, duration of pain, general trauma, etc. can be taken into account.

My guess is that no one will fight harder than the liberals against eradicating ambiguity because they do their best work in an atmosphere of confusion.

Historically, execution has not been found to be ‘cruel and unusual’ per the Constitution although some methods have been found to be.

It's not exactly on topic, but thank you for that thought. You've put into concise words what i was trying to form in my head.

If the state used the same method(s) used by the perp, the perp would have a difficult time arguing the punishment was cruel and unusual.
