The death penalty is a great example of how arbitrary American law can be. The hows and whys of a particular death penalty case are greatly determined by who the judges (and justices) are who review it...
Ernest Johnson sought death by firing squad, saying his brain damage leaves him at risk of severe and painful seizures if he's executed by lethal injection.
The Supreme Court now has six Catholic fundie justices who were put on the court by the Federalist Society. In the coming decades there are going to an insanely high number of "surprising" decisions unless Biden packs the court to stop the madness. But Biden won't. He's a fucking lib.
I once watched a Youtube vid by a guy with a Southern accent who was Taser salesman: "The best thing I think is great about a Taser is that you don't have to kill the person. I mean, there's plenta times people need killin'." That's actually what he said. I transcribed it. The last sentence reminds me of all the ghouls like Scalia.
On Scalia's Wikipedia page he rails time and again for the death penalty to be applied to younger and younger teenagers 'cause people needed killin'. Plus there's this Scalia gem...
In 2002, in Atkins v. Virginia, the Court ruled the death penalty unconstitutional as applied to the mentally removed. Scalia dissented, stating that it would not have been considered cruel or unusual to execute the mildly mentally removed at the time of the 1791 adoption of the Bill of Rights and that the Court had failed to show that a national consensus had formed against the practice.

And yet, Catholics are officially against the death penalty .
Scalia didn't get the memo.
