Taxpayers win one for a change.

Since when is this a Federal matter?

[Impala64ssa]

Justice Gorsuch is off to a flying start.

Execute, not kill.

"Justice Neil Gorsuch cast the deciding vote allowing Lee to die."

What made Gorsuch the "deciding vote" as opposed to any of the other 4 Justices who refused to grant a stay?

[ColdOne]

Nice! Now take out the rest of them. They did very horrible crimes. This one raped his victim in front of the daughter before killing her.

Can someone please correct me if I'm wrong? I long thought that it required five justices to authorize an emergency stay; a requirement which does not change if there are only 8 sitting justices.

Is it really accurate to say Gorsuch voted against the stays when he didn't approve them?

Not to shower on anyone’s parade, but the reality is that the motions only garnered the support of 4 of the 5 justices required. I'm glad Gorsuch didn't jump on the liberal parade, but I'm not throwing a celebration over it either.

[pfflier]

Well, what do you know? Death row occupants present and future might get a little nervous over this.

[simpson96]

Good work, Mr. Gorsuch.

[boomop1]

Use a dull needle.

[DPMD]

Off to a good start.

“Justice Neil Gorsuch cast the deciding vote allowing Lee to die.”

That wrapped up Ledell’s free room and board.

Thou shalt not suffer a murderer to live.— the Law dictated by God,Himself. When human law is made contrary to the laws dictated by God,Himself —it is the human laws that are ill made -and human laws that must change.

What would Merrick Garland do?

[American Quilter]

Good for Justice Gorsuch.

How did Sotomayor, Kagan and Ginsburg vote?

Just kidding. They are unthinking hacks.

[Rome2000]

There are 4 communist scumbag animals on the “Supreme “ court that want to let criminals get away with murder.

Something ought to be done about them.

... Arkansas originally planned to kill over 11 days before one drug in the three-drug lethal injection cocktail expires.

Three-drug lethal injection? It takes three drugs to do the job? Why? Morphine would get the job done with just one drug. And morphine is cheap and plentiful.
