Oh, I dunno ... "cruel" and "unusual" are pretty relative terms. I could work within those guidelines ... although I do believe the degenerates I might have the pleasure of dispatching would probably beg to disagree ...
I used to be a very staunch anti-death penalty kinda gal. Working for lawyers solved that in short order. Some people actually deserve what they might get at the hands of a victim's family or an angry mob.
Oh... don't get me wrong - I'm very for the death penalty. I want to be very sure they actually are guilty... but I'm for it. Don't see the point in supporting their asses for decades.
