Supreme Court OKs lethal injection for Missouri death row inmate with rare health issue

The opinion, written by Justice Neil Gorsuch, said the Eighth Amendment's ban on cruel and unusual punishment "does not guarantee a painless death."

Russell Bucklew was convicted and sentenced to death 22 years ago for murdering a neighbor of his estranged girlfriend. He asked the state to put him to death using nitrogen gas, claiming that extensive tumors in his throat would rupture during lethal injection, causing him intense suffering. Monday's ruling said Bucklew failed to show that Missouri could easily switch to using nitrogen gas instead. And it said he did not prove in the lower courts that such a method would be less painful.

US Supreme Court OK's abortion for Missouri mothers with rare pregnancy issue.

His health issue will no longer be an issue..

So you’re telling me that the same people who are against the death penalty against someone who committed horrible crimes, are for killing an innocent baby?!?! Does anyone else see this as ironic?

So the left is fine with killing babies but want to save and support the worst criminals amongst us. Their lack of values is showing.

Monstrous

We are one of the very few nations-w/ China & Middle East-that carry out the death penalty. Why? It costs more to have an inmate on death row than in prison for life, the of mistakes, & it doesn’t work as a deterrent, If it worked, there would be very few murderers.

😠

Aw, bullets work.

The bloodlust crowd will love this but it's barbaric.

Sick.

This is coming from the abortion crowd.

Same people who believe late term abortion is OK?

BARBARIC

pethetic

Supreme Court refuses to block Missouri inmate's execution despite rare medical conditionThe court's five conservatives ruled against the inmate's claim that the execution would cause him particularly gruesome pain, suggesting that it was just another delaying tactic. He won't have his medical condition when he's dead - so seems a strange ground for stopping his execution. Did they worry about the pain inflicted on the person or people he murdered. Hardly not, screw these people.
