This doesn't sit right with me. I like rick scott. I like the attorney general. But an execution is a pretty solemn, serious affair. To tell a man he's going to be executed later and have it be for a reason such as this I can't imagine why she would even think it was okay.

I thought at least someone would have a problem with this.

I don't have a tremendous amount of sympathy for Marshall Lee Gore.

The courts have stayed the executions twice now for other reasons, I don't see how this is all that much different.

On Death Row you lose control of your life, kind of like what he did to these two women.

"Gore was convicted in the 1988 slaying of Robyn Novick, a 30-year-old exotic dancer. In addition to Novick, Gore also was sentenced to death for the 1988 slaying of Susan Roark."

I don't give a damn about the prisoner but in today's day and age I think this is bad policy.

Delay an execution because the doctor got sick, there is an issue with the medicine, etc. But don't make it look like we are jerking each other off with lethal injection tubes.

It's in poor taste, but I can tell you that I really don't give a damn about how uncomfortable some scum bag on death row is… I still think that "cruel and unusual" shouldn't be relevant to these assholes, but that's why I'm not a justice on the SCOTUS.

I "get" what your objection is, but when it comes to stuff the government does that really bothers me, this is pretty far down the list.

Meh, the only issue I have is that it should have been done YEARS ago.

My biggest objections to capital punishment is that they make a ceremony out of it and that it's unevenly applied to perpetrators of the same crime. Shoot the guy in the head as you walk by the cell some random day or make it look like an accident. All this ritual is a sadistic game that makes the image of justice look too similar to those we supposedly are against.

Shoot the guy in the head as you walk by the cell some random day, don't involve all this ritual that makes it all a sadistic game that utterly perverts the image of justice.

I have to agree here. The same crime should be punished the same. And as far as capital punishment goes it should all be done the same way. If it were a routine thing that happen frequently (as it would if same crimes were punished the same) it wouldn't be a big deal when it rolled around.

Meh, the only issue I have is that it should have been done DECADES ago.

Fixed that for ya!
