Federal executions were all but halted after the government found it difficult to obtain the three-drug cocktail needed for such injections.

Justice Department spokeswoman Kerri Kupec said the legal battle would continue.

“While we are disappointed with the ruling, we will argue the case on its merits in the D.C. Circuit and, if necessary, the Supreme Court,” she said in a statement.

In a two-page statement, three justices — Samuel Alito, Brett Kavanaugh and Neil Gorsuch — wrote they expected the Trump administration to prevail in court.

“The Court has expressed the hope that the Court of Appeals will proceed with ‘appropriate dispatch,’ and I see no reason why the Court of Appeals should not be able to decide this case, one way or the other, within the next 60 days,” Alito said.

Great comments, plenty more:

I’m for having them die in the manner they killed their victims. Why should killers be treated with respect, it’s not like they had that same compassion for the victims.

Back to the good old standby.....firing squads. Used quite a bit during WWII.

WINNER: How about the three drug cocktail, brass.powder and lead?

Hanging does not require drug cocktails.

Just saying.
