BREAKING: U.S. carries out first federal execution in 17 years in Indiana after U.S. Supreme Court ruling clears the way.

Hours later, the Supreme Court issued an unsigned majority opinion saying that"the plaintiffs have not established that they are likely to succeed on the merits of their Eighth Amendment claim" and"that claim faces an exceedingly high bar."

Daniel Lewis Lee waits for his arraignment hearing for murder in the Pope County Detention Center in Russellville, Ark. on Oct. 31 1997.His execution, the first by the federal Bureau of Prisons since 2003, was initially halted Friday over concerns about, which were raised by civil rights groups and relatives of Lee’s victims who had sued to try to stop it.

“For us it is a matter of being there and saying, `This is not being done in our name; we do not want this,’” relative Monica Veillette said.

Funny how when a white man is executed suddenly no one in Hollywood cares. kanyewest KimKardashian RealCandaceO realDonaldTrump RealJamesWoods violadavis AnnCoulter JRubinBlogger maddow seanhannity Janefonda

Communist dictator (murdered millions) Mao Zedong's dictum & the slogan of Chinese Communist Party - 'women hold half of the sky'. Sleepy Joe Biden's rhetoric in a fundraiser - 'Women hold half of the sky'.

I am always sick to my stomach knowing that a human being is being killed and knowing that the only people who end up suffering are those that loved them TrumpKillsUS TraitorTrump BenedictDonald PardonMeTrump

I thought Republicans were of the view that ALL LIVES matter.

Gee NBC News, where do you stand on this issue? It's not apparent by the stock photo you used in your tweet. 🙄

There are too many criminals bin America. How many of them become a new man in jail?

Compare reporting from the left, right and center at

The average cost per inmate per year is $35,000. Taxpayer money used to keep people in prison for life. I believe and using that money for bonuses for people that complete high School then more bonuses after college to start there life out. I do not believe in wasting money.

Could you please ask this person if he is for or against the execution of perfectly innocent children while in the mother's womb?

Trump will be pleased then...might keeo him off twitter while he has a ..

maggie805ca People who oppose the death penalty when an 8 year old girl is murdered by cold blooded killers are wrong. However, here is the deal: $60k/yr to house an inmate. As long as you pay for it, and not me, I would be fine with the murderer being kept alive.

Need to start ahead EVERYDAY. MAKE ROOM FOR MORE IDIOTS WHO WANT TO COMMIT CRIMES. these clowns will never reform. Reason why crimes so high. Death sentence should be DEATH. not 20yrs later.

This is VERY important context

Here comes people saying someone who tortures children to death deserves mercy because orange man bad.

Interesting...Execution is Okay...abortion is not...

U forgot to mention. It's a white supremist. Doesn't fit ur narrative?

There wasn’t enough death happening here so we decided to make some more.

Htg

Trump should run political ads undermining the threat of covid ( highlight the low, low mortality rate ), demanding states open their economy and schools!

Well that's a shocker

Thank you Trump!

Better him than me

Bon voyage murdering scum bag

Morning_Joe Death penalty. The preferred tool of a Fascist State. Welcome to Donnie's Fourth Reich folks.

No sympathies from me. But if the guy was black there is no way the execution would have gone forward.

That's fine..... then YOU pay to take care of them AND the victims' families...

This cannot be truth. There is no way the 'Racist In Chief' and 'Nazi in Chief' and his DOJ would go to such lengths to make sure a White Supremacist with Nazi tatts got what he deserved. Donald Trump may be the worst White Supremacist ever. Someone call David Duke.

One Seven, eh?

Excellent. We need the death penalty in EVERY state! deathpenalty DeathPenaltyForPedos

I think the real story is that this was the first federal execution in 17 years - and went against family of the victim's wishes.

People who oppose the death penalty: would you still feel the same if your child was raped or murdered? If you would then you don’t understand the value of human life.

It's about time we stopped feeding their sorry asses. KAG2020 IFBAP

Trump’s been executing Americans ever since he botched the COVID-19 response. TrumpLiesAmericansDie

The ultimate two wrongs don’t make a right. The death penalty should be abolished like it is in most civilized countries.

Weird how they let this election year issue just roll right on through but tax returns have to wait.

🤬

Took too long

Watch baby killers oppose this

We now have nearly 150,000 deaths the vast majority of which were preventable. They received a death sentence and did nothing at all wrong.

Good riddance

Good!

Pro-Life

The US is a bestial country.

Oh good- I don’t think enough people were dying 👍 let’s really get that death rate going!

Not enough deaths, I guess

A lot of 'pro-life' people out there don't care. At. All.
