WASHINGTON (AFP) — The US Supreme Court Wednesday ruled that lethal injection was constitutional, in a landmark ruling set to pave the way for executions to resume in the country after a hiatus of over six months.

The judges ruled by a 7 to 2 vote that the risk of suffering to those executed by lethal injection did not constitute "cruel and unusual punishment," which is barred under the US Constitution.

I mean, yeah the Supreme Court's decision was totally legit, but that doesn't mean that because I agree with it that I'm okay with the death penalty because I'm not; I think it's sick and inhumane regardless of what method is used, but yeah, it's Constitutional.
