Probably because Trump knows he is behind in polls, and wants to posture as a law and order President at every conceivable opportunity.
Yes, because a moronic reporter will ask about the ruling and inquire if Trump believes in "cruel and unusual punishment" and will he offer a pardon.
They are that stupid.?
These were federal prisoners. All of the ones you alluded to were brought by death row inmates convicted under state law and appealed to the USSC.
First federal executions in 17 years.
