You Never Know When There'll Be an Emergency

Texas Refuses to Share Lethal Injection Drug | NBC Dallas-Fort Worth: "States that have run out of the drug used for lethal injections won't get any help from Texas.
[. . . .]
The only approved U.S. manufacturer of the drug says new supplies won't be available until next year. That's bad news for Arizona, Oklahoma, Ohio, Tennessee and Kentucky, the states that have run out of the 'killin' juice.'

Texas has 39 available doses that expire in March and only has three executions scheduled before then. Still, a spokeswoman for the Texas Department of Criminal Justice told USA Today that Texas isn't sharing."

I can only imagine the political crap involved in this decision.
