He said Bucklew’s lawyers failed to present evidence that nitrogen gas would be less painful. It would take longer for him to be rendered unconscious with gas than with an injection, Gorsuch said. “No state has ever actually carried out an execution using nitrogen gas,” Gorsuch said. “Nor does the Constitution require a state to develop a novel method of execution.”

Let them have whoever they want and see what delay tactic they come up with then.
