Justice John Paul Stevens, while agreeing that the case at hand was lame - since lethal injection is entirely designed NOT to be cruel and there is skimpy evidence that this theoretically possible kind of agonizing execution has ever actually happened - urged precisely the opposite.

At other times it has retreated into a kind of war-on-terrorism news-talgia, playing up threatening chatter and new missives from al-Qaeda leaders while...
...joint campaign events "in keeping with the President's schedule," he said. He hopes the President will "find time from his busy schedule" to campaign with him, he said. McCain apparently hasn't seen the "Week Ahead" memos the White House has been sending out that shows Bush's lame duck agenda sparsely dotted with feel-good meet-and-greets...
