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

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.

2 California Supreme Court justices say the state’s death penalty system doesn’t workTwo weeks after Gov. Gavin Newsom declared a moratorium on executions, two justices on the state’s highest court called California’s death penalty “an expensive and dysfunctional system” that delivers neither justice nor timely closure. wHAT i GOT TO PEE...HOLD ON...C.I.A DIRECTOR LIL' O. 999.9 Voters specifically voted against the end of the executions. In fact, they wanted them accelerated. Newsom is acting like a dictator making decisions in opposition to the will of the people of the state. Death penalty saves money as it gives the wretched murder a quick out if offered a life sentence. Take way the death penalty and the litigation will be extended on and on. Defense lawyer's job is to reduce the penalty no matter what.

Kill the electoral college? Stack the Supreme Court?The Democratic presidential hopefuls, prodded by a frustrated base, are pushing fundamental changes to the American political system. Here's what they're saying. Yeah. We imported 50 million socialists the past 50 years and now the country is completely different and the socialist Democratic Party wants to make America like Venezuela. We know that already. This is the worst kind of political journalism. No discussion of the merits. Just parroting politicians. The GOP only exists, lacking any good arguments, because of substance-free reporting like this.
