Alabama is so bloodthirsty that even though they cannot get the proper drugs for execution or even prove that they aren't torture, they're going to go ahead with an execution anyway. Only this time there will be no sedation, no numbing. They don't even know what's going to happen but they expect a death. Air is going to be replaced with pure nitrogen. We breathe nitrogen every day. Probably couldn't live without it. But oxygen is not an option. At the very least it will feel like suffocation. Oh yeah, the guy on death row says that he was there but didn't do it. [BBC]

Tennessee has got it entirely backward. If you're a felon who has served your time and you want to exercise your right to vote, you must first be approved for a gun license. Either this is a way to keep one-time felons from ever voting again or the state wants guns in the wrong hands. [Associated Press]

The Supremes said that Texas must let the Border Patrol do it's job and to remove razor wire. Since the Supremes didn't specifically say that Texas couldn't put up the razor wire in the first place we're now in a race. [Business Insider]
