I typed out a response earlier, but apparently did not hit post.
I agree with Sotomayor's dissent. The responsibility of the inmates to provide that there is a better alternative is a ridiculous requirement. The evidence exists in this case to show that the use of this drug is problematic.
I do not agree with Breyer about the constitutionality of the death penalty, however. I am against the death penalty for a number of reasons, the biggest being that the imperfection of government should not be making the decision to end someone's life. I do also find it inhumane and think any way that we may come up with to execute someone is cruel and unusual in today's civilized world, but judicial precedence is against me on that one.
