ACLU: Texas Law Protects Lizards More Than Humans
Texas laws more strictly regulate euthanasia of animals than the lethal injection of death row inmates, according to a report released Sunday by the American Civil Liberties Union, the ACLU of Texas and the Center for International Human Rights at Northwestern University Law School.
The report comes as the Texas Department of Criminal Justice is set tomorrow to conduct the first execution using pentobarbital in the three-drug cocktail used for lethal injection. Texas, like all other death penalty states, was forced to find a new death penalty drug after the only American manufacturer of sodium thiopental — the drug used previously ...

Lizards are cute and haven't killed a human being.

THERE IS NO NEED FOR TEXAS TO KILL WHEN TEXAS HAS THE OPTION OF "LIFE IN PRISON WITHOUT PAROLE". ALSO, IT COST TEN (10) TIME MORE TO EXECUTE AN INMATE THAT TO KEEP HIM IN PRISON FOR LIFE. LIFE IS BASED ON AN "AVERAGE" OF 45 YEARS IN PRISON.

Does ACLU use "Lizard" as a code for "Illegal Alien" ? If the question is about drugs then switch back to either hanging or the firing squad.

If Lizard is the code name for "ILLEGAL ALIEN", THEN YES, HANG THEM OR USE THE FIRING SQUAD. DO NOT WASTE OUR TAX MONEY WITH THE LEGAL SYSTEM OR SUPPORTING THEM IN OUR PRISONS! I CANNOT AFFORD TO KEEP PAYING THE TAXES TO EDUCATION ILLEGALS, FEED THEM WITH THEIR FREE SNAP CARDS, FREE ANCHOR BABIES, FREE MEDICAL WITH WICK, FREE HOUSING INCENTIVES, FREE, FREE, FREE, AND ALL THEY SAY IS "GIVE ME MORE - THAT'S NOT ENOUGH!". I DO NOT WANT TO SPEND ONE DIME FOR THE ILLEGALS' EDUCATION! NOW OUR TAX PAYING U.S. CITIZENS HAVE TO SEE THAT THEY ARE EDUCATED WITH THE ILLEGAL PARENTS KNEW FULL WELL THEY WERE SNEAKING OVER HERE THEY WERE BRAKING OUR LAWS! ILLEGALS' SHOULD NOT BE REWARDED FOR BREAKING OUR LAWS!
Put up land mines at the borders or high powered electric fences, or both!

God bless Arizona! They have the guts to do what the Feds are supposed to be doing for us which is protecting the US Citizens from Mass Invasion.
Why is Texas rewarding Illegal Aliens for coming here when they know they are breaking the law by sneaking across the burder? What makes anyone think they will obey any other of our laws when they have proved that they get fake Social Security cards for themselfs, their children, aunts, cousins ets., drive our highways with out insurance, use fake Vehicle Inspection Stickers when it is a fact that they don't respect our laws and trash out our neighborhoods. Why? Because Perrys' best cronies own construction companies and they can get cheap labor by paying Illegals from under the table while donating millions in campaining donations from his cronies to keep him in office and his bank account full. Perrys' rent house cost $10,000 a month and the owner is one of his best friends. Duh! What is wrong with PrettyHair putting a double-wide on the mansion grounds and show by example how to live on less verses the US Citizens continuing to cut in our belts so he can continue to live fat on the hog? Perry (Sissy Boy) did not have the guts to debate Bill White because he cannot think on his feet and he knew the questions would be too hard. Perry does not want us to know the truth and White would have brought out the true Christmas Grench that Perry is. Perry does not care about the people; he only cares about his rich cronies.

I don’t see the problem. In every case the drug was the inmate died making it a successful execution. On top of that the state showed more care and compassion to those convicted murderers than they showed to their victims.
you kill someone in Texas,
we'll kill you right back!!
