What state legislatures need to do is pass laws specifying the guillotine as an alternative means of execution. It is quick and painless (though perhaps a tad messy). Faced with that alternative, some of these Clinton bozo judges might have second thoughts about messing with lethal injection.

Judge Penny White made that decision, and she paid for it with her career. She was ousted from the bench during a fierce political campaign that portrayed her as soft on crime

We need Judges like Traugher off the bench, too.

a dozen tamales, six brownies, refried beans with chorizo, two rollo candies, six hard shell tacos with lettuce, three big red sodas, ketchup, hot sauce, six jalapeno peppers, tomatoes, cheese, and extra ground beef.

That would constitute a last meal even without the execution.

A ruling on whether the drugs used in lethal injection violate the constitutional ban on cruel and unusual punishment is pending in the U.S. Supreme Court.

If this is true, one cannot blame the delay on the U.S. District Court Judge.
