Attorney General William Barr revealed Thursday he'd be willing to take the administration's fight to restart federal executions to the Supreme Court if necessary.

Barr's comments to The Associated Press came after U.S. District Judge Tanya S. Chutkan ruled Thursday to postpone four of five scheduled executions for next month; the fifth already had been halted. The Trump administration appealed the decision.

The government has put to death only three defendants since restoring the federal death penalty in 1988, most recently in 2003, when Louis Jones was executed for the 1995 kidnapping, rape and murder of a young soldier.

Great idea. O.K., here we go with the first list...

A very LONG list, starting with some deep staters, but not restricted to them.

Deterrent is missing in our society, the left cries that we could be putting an honest man to death. DNA will put this to rest. Besides they left has no problem killing innocent life and selling their body parts yet they will stand and protest in all sorts of weather outside execution sites to protect the murderers who are about to be executed for their crimes

Wouldn’t it be funny if the reason Barr is dragging his feet is so the people he finally does arrest can be executed?

Clearly messaging to the swamp creature. You will cooperate or possibly face a death penalty.

When the execution of the death penalty comes into play, the candidate is no longer ad defendant, they are a convict.

Barr should give this issue to a subordinate in his department and get his own azz in gear working on the criminal coup of Trump currently underway on his watch.

As I’m sure everyone assumed, this so-called Judge (Tanya S. Chutkan) was appointed by Barack Hussein.

Not a bad idea and first up would be ~233 in the House and ~45 in the Senate.

Then all the liberal partisans in government so they’ll need to ramp up to the high double digits daily to get caught up.
