Late Friday night, over the fiery objection of two Supreme Court justices, Dustin John Higgs became the 13th federal inmate to be put to death. It marked the last federal execution to take place under the Trump administration that announced in July 2019 that it was reinstating the federal death penalty after a nearly two-decade pause. Then-Attorney General William Barr said that his office owed it to the victims and their families to carry forward sentences imposed by the justice system.
While saying she"respectfully" dissented, she added,"Those whom the Government executed during this endeavor deserved more from this Court." As for Breyer, now the most senior liberal on the court, he named each of the inmates. He noted that a lower court judge held that Higgs had significant lung damage and executing him by injection of pentobarbital would"subject him to a sensation of drowning akin to waterboarding" because of his Covid-19 infection.
Pres Trump made MLK day a national holiday. The Dems would never do that because its about Religion. And Religion and LGBT dont mix and the Dem choose LGBT. Very sick to choose those people over GOD fearing people.
What’s the problem here? Either we have a death penalty or not. If we do some shouldn’t linger on death row for years. There should be a time limit for appeals. There will always be differences of opinion. Plus there are no easy ways to die. Pain and suffering? Think of the Vern
I’m confused. I don’t see the pro-life crowd fighting with the liberal justices. Oh right, they’re not really pro-life!
The left have never accepted the legitimacy of a President who isn't one of them...
The world is tired of the many ideologies and formulas of a good life. The most complete model of life is written and in the Quran. If you think the Qur'an is not the word of God,bring a surah equal to it If you think there is no God, think Fatima
A president this unsettled should not be allowed to do this!
SHAME 🤢🤮
Wait...was that pre-stated objective? 😱
We are becoming a very weak society. It should be the norm if you do the evil crime you pay the price. Society will be a little better of a place and it saves the tax payer a bundle. 75% of the voters want capital punishment for certain crimes. Weak politicians pamper evil.
The hypocrisy of these Catholic judges who support the death penalty is astounding
Both Higgs and Montgomery were sentenced to death by Clinton appointed judges.
Trump is one angry man
BS.
I am against the death penalty. 1 out 9 people in this country are innocent of the crime they executed for in this country. Just look at how many people they have fought out they were innocent because of DNA over the years and some after they were executed.
Trump can't be as pro-life as he makes out. Sure, these people are not embryos and may be dangerous to society, but many are mentally disturbed. At worst, capital punishment should only be used on mass murderers. Hang on, isn't Trump one of those, with his Covid response?
Biden should stack the court. JoeBiden

Are the liberal justices time travelers? Because you would have to be a time traveler in order to experience Trumps last week in office 4 years before it happens.
MAGA Christians (and Trump) please read your bibles: Not only: 'Thou shalt not kill' but also: 'The LORD brings death and makes alive; he brings down to the grave and raises up.' FakeChristian DeathRow is not Christian
Come Judgement Day Trump will have a lot to answer for.
