Supreme Court clears way for federal executions

The Supreme Court early Tuesday ruled that the first federal executions in 17 years can be carried out.blocked four inmates from being executed.

Daniel Lewis Lee was originally scheduled to receive a lethal dose of the powerful sedative pentobarbital at 4 p.m. ET Monday, but a federal judge's order prevented his execution. Tuesday's unsigned Supreme Court majority opinion says that"the plaintiffs have not established that they are likely to succeed on the merits of their Eighth Amendment claim" and"that claim faces an exceedingly high bar."

The Eighth Amendment bars cruel and unusual punishment. The Supreme Court majority opinion says that the executions may proceed as planned. All four executions are to take place at the U.S. Penitentiary in Terre Haute, Indiana.Monday morning that three death row inmates, and a fourth whose execution is scheduled for August, could pursue their claim that the federal government's plan to use a single drug will cause severe pain and needless suffering.

Barbaric, no civilised country has capital punishment.

Good! One less thug on the books.

Brought to you by the 'right to life' party

State sanctioned murder. Anyone who supports the death penalty is never again allowed to complain that government too powerful because you literally just approved of state death panels.

Fry those losers!!! The monsters deserve to meet their maker, straight to hell!!!

And thats that !! 1st execution in 17 years is a white supremacist ... tell me how trump is racist again ?

what is the channel and time please.

quen43 Wow so beautiful🌹🌹🌹😍🌺🌺🌺

IPOT1776 17...I know!

'Thou shall not kill'

Isn't it strange that the ones who 'love' to execute people are the ones who tout themselves as the religious ones? Isn't it against the religion, in whatever form it may be, to take another's life?

IPOT1776 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

IPOT1776 Yes.

Strap the evil murdering bastards down. They must pay the sentence for their heinous crimes! ZERO SYMPATHY!

They had a few good rulings, now they're back on the bad road.

Puts the US on the same level as Saudi Arabia.

17 = Q 5:5.

Just let him roam around, he will for sure catch COVID-19

The pro-life judges ruled for the executions. Interesting

Clears the way for tRumps turn.

IPOT1776 Time to fire up Ole’ Sparky!

The party of 'pro-life'.. sure like killing people. The death penalty is barbaric and has no place in a civilized country and should be abolished.

IPOT1776

I’m surprised Trump doesn’t want to televise the execution.

Revelation 13, Revelation 19, Revelation 20

A barbaric practice .

Good.. kill and get killed

Why?

So...they FINALLY caught up to Trump, his cabinet & a bunch of GOP senators. Hooray!!

BOOOOOO!!!

A good step because if the punishment is not a deterrent will continue criminals with their crimes

Cue the Democrats comparing unborn babies to the worst murderers on Earth.

Put the AntifaDomesticTerrorists thugs at the top of that list.

SICK SHIT

'pro life'
