Supreme Court justices are rarely on good behavior when they are debating how the government should kill people. As much as they may brag about their collegiality and thick skins, the justices tend to go into beast mode when capital punishment is involved. Antonin Scalia delivers improvised rants from the bench. Clarence Thomas pens mini-biographies of murder victims to justify his biblical sense of revenge. Samuel Alito maligns the lawless “guerrilla war” to block states from obtaining drugs for lethal injection. (Damn that notorious guerrilla warrior, the European Union, for embargoing death drugs.) And the liberals take out their righteous fury on poor state attorneys who just want to get an execution or two under their belt.
