Following yesterday's ruling by the 8th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals that Missouri's practice of execution by lethal injection is not cruel or unusual punishment, Governor Matt Blunt voiced his agreement with the Court's decision. Labels: Courts
"In the interest of protecting Missourians, I am pleased the court ruled in favor of the state’s limited, reasonable and effectively enforced death penalty and I am directing the Department of Corrections to prepare execution procedures in compliance with the ruling," said Blunt.
The ruling by the three-judge panel allows for the resumption of executions in Missouri, overturning the moratorium placed by U.S. District Judge Fernando Gaitan prior to and during the Circuit Court case.

I agree that you can't have it both ways. On one hand you say that abortion is taking a life yet you advocate killing a grown person. Is not murder itself cruel and unusual?
