Bombshell: Rachel Maddow exposes squalid saga of Nebraska's attempt to score illegal execution drugs

It turns out that the DEA confiscated illegally-acquired execution drugs four years ago during the Heineman/Bruning regime and now the Ricketts/Peterson team is doing the same thing again — on the taxpayer's dime.
     The emails Maddow used to bust this latest GOP chicanery came from a public records request by the Nebraska ACLU.
     In researching this story Maddow discovered that two other as-yet unnamed states are trying the same ploy. Public records requests are now underway across the country to find out which states those are.
     Even the Omaha Police Union is helping to mislead the public about the probable success (nil) of this appalling endeavor.
