Capital punishment might be cruel. This can be debated. Capital punishment has been going on for centuries. How is this, by any stretch of imagination, unusual?

My sentiments exactly.IMO, the court should establish "cruel and unusual" based on the circumstances of the crime. Why would it be excessively cruel or unusual to exercise the same level of disregard for the inmate that they gave their victim?

Civilized society has a moral standard to make an execution as quick and painless as possible.
Do I agree with that? Not always. Most of the time I think that if you murdered somebody you should be executed in that same manner.
The problem isn't executing them in that way but the impact on the lives of the executioner.
Give them a good dose of potassium. That ends it.

I couldn't be the executioner, but you could find a sociopath or a person who is principled and deeply believes in the necessity for the greater good. You can justify your believes and methods if you truly feel it is right even if your wrong.
Oooh! Oooh! Me! Me!
Seems to me the cheapest route would be to go back to public stoning carried out by the victims family!, rocks are plentiful and free. Plus the thought of death by stoning might work as a deterrent?
Oooh! Oooh! Me! Me!
