<<When Scalia makes a pithy remark that the Constituion does not say execution must be painless it shows an uncaring personality.

No it shows a lot of caring. Caring about the constitution and rule of law. That concern could be concern for the rule of law as an abstract principle, or it could be concern about the rule of law, since if you toss it, you expose people to injustice, and he has sympathy for victims of injustice. I think it may be a combination of both, but even if its all the former, its still something that his remake shows caring about.>>

Scalia did not say that because of his concern about the constitution. Good lord.
