I'm pretty sure the contention is that lethal injection is frequently botched in a way that makes it very painful to the condemned.

The main reason why the SCOTUS will rule that lethal injection is constitutional is because to do otherwise would basically abolish the death penalty. If you found that lethal injection was cruel and unusual, you would have to devise a method of execution that inflicts less suffering on the condemned. I sure can't think of a more pleasant way to go.
