SCOTUS rules man can be executed by lethal injection after claim it would cause 'severe pain'(tr)
The Hill ^ | April 1, 2019

Posted on 04/01/2019 10:37:46 AM PDT by SMGFan

The Supreme Court ruled 5-4 on Monday that a Missouri man can be executed by lethal injection after he argued that a medical condition would cause him "severe pain" during the procedure. Russell Bucklew, who was convicted of murder, kidnapping and rape, appealed his planned execution, claiming it would violate his Eighth Amendment rights protecting him against "cruel and unusual punishment."

Justice Neil Gorsuch, however, wrote in the court’s opinion that justices “can discern no lawful basis” for blocking Bucklew’s execution.

Bucklew had been convicted in the 1996 kidnapping and rape of his ex-girlfriend, Stephanie Ray, and the murder of Michael Sanders, a neighbor who Ray was staying with at the time. Bucklew's execution was originally scheduled for May 2014.

I always ask that the phlebotomist or nurse use a finer diameter needle. If they do it right, you nearly can’t feel it at all.

If it would shut the left up, you are right.

Why not just use the anesthesia folks like me get when getting endoscopic testing?

Then kill them however the hell you want. They won’t know it’s happening.

BTW, the last few second before you go under are GREAT.

They should use whatever the left says is a humane way to euthanize the elderly and terminally ill. God forbid they use the same means as baby murderers use on innocent babies.

I truly don’t care about any pain and terror the murdered experiences as I expect it will not come anywhere near the level of pain and terror his victim experienced while he raped and murdered her.

They ‘euthanized’ aka murdered, a disabled 7 year old in Belgium by lethal injection. Find out what they used on the kid and give him an adult sized dose. Liberals will still be horrified because they only want to kill the innocent.

“They should use whatever the left says is a humane way to euthanize the elderly and terminally ill. God forbid they use the same means as baby murderers use on innocent babies.”

This! If it isn’t “cruel and unusual” for a Downs Syndrome child or an Alzheimer’s patient, then it is just fine for a serial killer or whatever.

Last time I was put under, I woke up thinking and asking why they have not started my knee surgery until I tried to move my leg...LOL...

You are right...I would have never known it was lights out.. Permanently..

How about shooting him in the -ing head. Would that cause severe pain?
Was it painful to his ex-girlfriend when he raped her?
Was it painful to the neighbor he was staying with at the time when he murdered him?

How would he know if it’s painful if he’s not tried it?

They could try dehydration. I believe the left assured us that Terry Schiavo wouldn’t feel a thing ...
