Why should it matter if he has dimencia or not? Didnt phase Cuomo when he executed 1000’s of seniors.

In Canada we (unfortunately) allow for assisted suicide... Given this inmates afflictions, wouldn’t he be better of dead? So maybe that alternative should be offered to this foolish Judge for a rethink... Consider it ‘assisted suicide’ and it doesn’t sound so bad when you put him to death.

Another passionate decision by another Obama Judge...

Aristotle - The “Law” is reason, free from passion... Even Elle Woods could figure that out.

Once he is dead he it will be meaningless for him to know why he is dead.

SCOTUS never slaps judges down. What needs to happen is since the claim to be an equal co-branch of Governemnt, there s no oversite to prevent judicial corruption. Time for the executive to start laying out rules and set up an independent commitee to punish these judges by transferring them to special courts that require judges to report 5 days a week to courts, non-salery, no pension, and they have to punch in to time clocks in order to get paid. But these courts will be designed that they will never hear any cases. Don’t show up? No pay! Lifetime appointment to sit there and rot or godforbid....quit.

An Osama Obama appointee...so you’d expect a terrorist in black robes.

...the Supreme Court’s prioritization of that pace over additional unlimited legal process

What she really meant to say. "You are sentenced to death, but don't worry. Your appeals will continue for the rest of your life."

On the other hand, forcing this turd to suffer through dementia, and Alzheimer’s is a nice consolation prize. SCOTUS will expedite this matter, and let Jesus sort it out.

“”The speed with which the government seeks to carry out these executions”

Yeah it’s so fast we have perps on death row that get dementia as a result of all the delays and frivolous appeals.

Too bad we can’t substitute the judge for the death row inmate for filing these frivolous injunctions.

She’s not just another angry black woman.

She’s an angry black woman from Jamaica.

She has a chip on her shoulder about centuries of British slavery there.

So why is she sitting in judgement of Americans?

In what way IS she an American?

No immigrant alien should be in her position. If she was afforded Affirmative Action, why? Did she or anyone in her family suffer any injustice from the American populace that has to be redressed? How could they - she’s from Jamaica!

There is such a thing as competency to be executed. Really. It usually requires a fairly quick interview with a psychologist or psychiatrist to determine whether the subject has the capacity to understand why he is being executed. Article doesn’t say whether that step was taken or the judge just ran with the defense plea because of her own bias.

C.S. Lewis noted somewhere that there probably isn’t anything like the death penalty to make a soul perk up and take note spiritually. Of course, it didn’t take decades to execute the convicted back in Lewis’ day. This man had many years to consider his end so the Common Law argument cited doesn’t hold up in his case.

What difference does it make that the condemned now has dementia? Does the effect of the needle hurt any more just because he has dementia. How does that fit under cruel and unusual? This judge is just against the death penalty despite the law and any excuse will do for her to enjoin executing a criminal.

Reminds me of Ricky Ray Rector:

“For his last meal, Rector requested and received a steak, fried chicken, cherry Kool-Aid, and pecan pie. As noted above, Rector left the pie on the side of the tray, telling the corrections officers who came to take him to the execution chamber that he was “saving it for later.”[9][10] The slice of pecan pie was not disposed of until Rector had been executed.[11]”
