WASHINGTON (Reuters) - The Supreme Court on Wednesday rejected a challenge to the lethal three-drug cocktail used in most U.S. executions, clearing the way for a resumption of capital punishment halted since last September.

By a 7-2 vote, the high court ruled against two Kentucky death row inmates who argued the current lethal injection method violated the constitutional ban on cruel and unusual punishment by inflicting needless pain and suffering.

Well before this gets locked...........
Let me say I find the ruling disappointing.
Yeap I live in Texas and I am against the death penalty.
Needless to say here I am in the minority with this view.

Good on you 6 (hope there's not too much of a sting with that comment coming from a bleedin' heart treehugger from Orygun
;D).

I for one believe in the death sentence if you can prove without a doubt that the convicted guy/gal did it.

DNA evidence is a key piece to that as well as eye witnesses.
