From The Enhanced Techniques File

Now we know how Chief Justice Roberts would rule on the torture question, from his questioning today in the lethal injection case:

If these three drugs are "properly administered," the inmate should die peacefully, Chief Justice John G. Roberts Jr. told a lawyer for a Kentucky death-row inmate.

Hey, if it's good enough for Fido, it must be good enough for a person convicted by a jury predisposed to the death penalty. Oh wait, it isn't good enough for dogs.

"That's why it is illegal in Kentucky to euthanize animals this way," Verrilli said.

My bad.

But not to worry Scalia wants efficiency, and efficiency he will get.

Justice Antonin Scalia said the defense lawyers are simply trying to stop executions. If the court agrees there are problems with Kentucky's method, "this never ends," Scalia said.

Because after all, there must be death!
