Like being forced to die isn't itself cruel and unusual. Feh. The hypocrisy of the death penalty is my primary reason for opposing it.

what's a constitutional amount of pain? splinter? frying pan to the head? knife blade under the fingernail?

While I'm all for abolishing the death penalty this seems like an ass-backwards way of doing it.

Look at that room! What is that, teal? How horrific. "C'mon guys. I know I gotta die, but does this hafta be the last color I see?" I say, cruel *and* unusual. Add that they've coordinated the color of what looks like a STEPPING STOOL to the death-gurney, and I think they're working on a serious crime against humanity.
