WASHINGTON – The Supreme Court temporarily blocked the Trump administration Friday from resuming executions of federal prisoners after a 16-year hiatus.
The Justice Department expressed disappointment with the ruling but vowed to argue the case at the appeals court, and the Supreme Court if necessary. "The public interest is not served by executing individuals before they have had the opportunity to avail themselves of legitimate procedures to challenge the legality of their executions," Chutkan wrote.
Story continuesU.S. Solicitor General Noel Francisco argued in court papers that using lethal injection complies with the law, despite the prisoners' contention that more detailed state procedures also must be followed. Alito and his two colleagues stressed that point in their two-page statement. The prisoners' preference, they said,"would demand that the pointlessly copy minor details of a state’s protocol; and it could well make it impossible to carry out executions of prisoners sentenced in some states."

Most transparent President ever!! So doesn't this request to SCOTUS make him the first POTUS in history to make a request to SCOTUS that is personal in nature and not related in anyway to protecting the citizens of this nation or the safety of the nation?

Trump asks Supreme Court to hear arguments in fight with Congress over his financial recordsTrump asks Supreme Court to hear arguments over whether his accounting firm will be required to turn over his financial records to Congress. Got to wonder why our Criminal President is so scared to release his tax’s🤔 Hope they say no. He fights awful hard & spends a fortune to prevent something he promised he was going to do during his campaign (‘once the “audit” is over’). Confirms that audit excuse was always a lie & the claim he’d ever provide transparency was also a lie. Corruption at its highest form.
