Is the Death Penalty Constitutional?

The firing squad is honest and acknowledges itself for what it is. In bth cases, the person dying was lying on a gurney with an ivy coming out of his arm,. wrapped in white sheets, surrounded by loved ones. And it struck me as bizarre that we are killing those whom we love in a fashion that so nearly resembles how we are killin those we rightfully detest. There should be no resemblance. This isn't medicine. This is punishment.
