Conservative Justices Prevail

Here is the reason why Supreme Court appointments are so important.

It took a conservative majority to make a common sense ruling in the case of Russell Bucklew. This is a case out of Missouri.

Bucklew was convicted of shooting and killing a man who was dating his old girlfriend. But that’s not all. Bucklew then kidnapped the woman, raped her repeatedly and shot at her 6-year-old child. He ultimately led police on a car chase complete with a shoot-out with officers. Appropriately Bucklew got the death penalty for his mayhem. He got to the Supreme Court because he claimed to have a health condition making lethal injection too painful. He claimed to have a tumor in his throat which would likely burst shortly after lethal injection—causing him to choke---and depriving him of oxygen for up to four minutes. The audacity…...like his victims went pain free…on the contrary, they suffered mightily.

Bucklew went all the way to the Supreme Court claiming he should be allowed to inhale nitrogen instead of being injected with lethal chemicals. Thank God for five sane justices. Judge Neil Gorsuch, writing for the majority, said Bucklew’s claim wasn’t supported by either the law or the evidence.

Remarkably, a murder-rapist who shot at cops wanted to die pain-free…and four justices agreed with him. Do you see the lunacy?

Clearly justice is deaf, dumb and blind….at least for four members of the Supreme Court.
