NYTimes has an article on this, and a 'search' of topic shows it's been discussed often, of late, though I hadn't crossed it before. There's a 'shortage' of the drugs used for lethal injection, and the prisons mandated to carry out these executions have resorted to alternative drugs, and sources, to meet their needs. The anti-execution group has pressured manufacturers of these drugs to cease and desist, and many have. Now that some states have found ways to skirt these efforts, the 'antis' are going to court to attempt to block these efforts.
My take - putting aside my personal views on executions - is that there seems a large percent of the populace unwilling to live by democratically determined laws. This is one example; another is the refusal of law enforcement in many cities to enforce the illegal alien laws, in the 'sanctuary cities'.
Regardless of whether you agree with these folks, what's your take on this disregard for duly determined law?
