Indiana State Police block a road leading to the U.S. penitentiary and execution chamber in Terre Haute, Indiana. Photo: TANNEN MAURY/EPA-EFE/Shutterstoc/TANNEN MAURY/EPA-EFE/Shutterstoc At 8:07 a.m. Tuesday morning, doctors at the U.S. penitentiary in Terre Haute, Indiana, pronounced Daniel Lewis Lee dead. The 47-year-old, convicted of a 1996 triple murder, was the first federal inmate to be executed in 17 years.
Lee’s execution came almost a year after Attorney General William Barr announced plans to end the unofficial moratorium on executing federal inmates and seven months after the federal government planned to execute him. Those plans were derailed last November when a judge ruled that he and other death-row inmates had the right to challenge “the legality of their executions” before they were actually executed.
The Supreme Court rejected that argument in an early morning 5-4 decision that broke down along ideological lines. The unsigned majority opinion questioned the argument about the dangers of pentobarbital — the drug has become “a mainstay of state executions,” the majority wrote — and said that the case did not merit “last-minute intervention by a federal court.”

Supreme Court Permits First Federal Executions Since 2003A divided Supreme Court cleared the way for the first federal executions since 2003, issuing orders shortly after 2 a.m. that rejected inmate claims that using pentobarbital for lethal injections would be unconstitutional. Maybe they’d prefer the guillotine. Yes, they can still enjoy their favorite final entree as is customary. The Death Penalty is an ideology as is abortion. Under the Constitution you can’t have both an ideological law and a Constitutional law. Either or. So, realDonaldTrump is walking away from his requirements to defend the Constitution. I win. The U.S. is becoming more disgusting every day.
