Tough enough to execute Karla Fay Tucker-- and then laugh about it.  Tough enough to sign a death warrant for a man whose lawyer slept through the trial...and then snicker when asked about it in a debate.  Even tough enough to execute a great-grandmother who murdered her husband --after he abused her.
