Kyle Busch coming of age

scrub brush (Busch) is a prima donna! I wish a few of the old time drivers were around to run him into the fence. What scrub brush needs is a good belt to the gab!  (Tuesday May 6 | post #630)

Culpepper visiting Packers today

Give Rodgers the oppertunity to be in the starting role. Culpepper has been in a downward spiral since he left Minnesota. You are not going to replace a HOF over night. Rodgers is the most viable QB for GB. He has been in the system for three years under Favre. If Rodgers does not step up, he never will!!!  (Thursday Apr 24 | post #6)

Sources: Dolphins shopping Jason Taylor for 1st-round pick

Let me get this straight- Taylor is 33, looks like he has lost a step, and the Fins believe that they can get a 1st Round Pick. Come on, the best the Dolphins can get for JT is a mid 3rd pick. No team is going to give a 1st round pick for an aging vet on the backside of his career.  (Wednesday Apr 23 | post #110)

ACLU sues to challenge lethal injection procedure used in Montana

The ACLU is misleading people with the information it uses. The VIII Amendment does prohibit “cruel and unusual punishment”; however, no concession is made that punishment must be painless. The ACLU argues that condemned is not fully sedated. The amount of sodium pentothal used in the process is ten times more than used in surgical procedures. As a surgical anesthesia, a 220-pound man would receive 300 milligrams. In the lethal injection process, the same 220-pound man would receive 3 grams. The pancuronium bromide is a neuromuscular blocker and relaxes the diaphragm and chest wall muscles. The potassium chloride induces cardiac arrest not a heart attack as the ACLU claims. It is interesting that the ACLU would use the American Veterinarian Medical Association Euthanasia guidelines from 2000. In the AVMA 2007 guidelines, it clearly states that the each report is not germane to human lethal injection. Pancuronium bromide is not mention in its guidelines, and potassium chloride should not be used on a conscious or sensitive animal. According to re Kemmler (1890) cruel and unusual punishment is “Punishments are cruel when they involve torture or a lingering death; but the punishment of death is not cruel within the meaning of that word as used in the constitution. It implies there something inhuman and barbarous,-somethi ng more than the mere extinguishment of life.” The goal of the ACLU is to have federal judges legislate from the bench. The 1996 Antiterrorism and Effective Death Penalty Act of 1996 limited the amount of habeas petitions that can be filed. The ACLU now is challenging each drug that is used to create an informal moratorium of state sanction executions and prohibits each state from conducting punishment that they see fit.  (Apr 10, 2008 | post #1)

ACLU Sues Over Montana Executions -- Medicine, Montana

The Eighth Amendment makes no concession that punishment is to be painless. It only prohibits cruel and unusual punishment. The ACLU would have you believe that punishment needs to be painless. You can read re Kemmler (1890) to the Supreme Court interpretation of cruel and unusual. Check out the Criminal Legal Justice Foundation work on preserving states' right to punish criminals  (Apr 9, 2008 | post #15)

ACLU Sues Over Montana Executions -- Medicine, Montana

Something that a card carrying member, like yourself, should consider. The same three drugs used in lethal injection is also used in assisted suicide. Why is the ACLU mum about this? The ACLU's goals is to outlaw the death penalty. Look at the mission statement! Since habeas petitions are limited, the ACLU is challenging the individual process of lethal injection.  (Apr 9, 2008 | post #12)
