Who's Agenda Is This?

After allowing inmates to file challenges to lethal injections, now they get to articulate that holding of the amendment, and then protect the prerogative of state governments to use whatever means of execution is viable. Just a hunch.

Since the capital punishment implications of Amendment 8 [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eighth_Amendment_to_the_United_States_Constitution] haven't been addressed by the Court since Wilkerson v Utah [http://supreme.justia.com/us/99/130/case.html], this Court may feel it's about time.

I'd feel a little less Orwellian about this if I thought by some miraculous chance, that the civil rights of the inmate actually were part of the consideration.
