"A state panel has put new Maryland death penalty protocols submitted by Gov. Martin O'Malley on hold for further review."

From the Washington Post:

"This is something that could have been easily fixed," said Del. Michael D. Smigiel Sr. (R-Cecil), a supporter of capital punishment who is a member of the 20-member legislative review panel. "I'm sure that anything that can be done will be done to continue to subvert the law."

He's absolutely correct. It's time for O'Malley to shit or get off the pot on this issue. As governor he has the authority to commute death sentences, he should either do that or do his job and allow executions to resume. More than a thousand people have been executed by lethal injection in the US in the past 25 years, it's not rocket science. There is no legitimate reason for these stupid protocols to take this long. They should've just stuck with the gas chamber, then we wouldn't have these problems.
