And voting Trump has already paid off....Justice Gorsuch broke the tie that allowed the execution of a violent murderer to go forward....had he not been on the court, the execution would have been stayed...
BREAKING: Gorsuch Casts First Tie Breaking Vote... It's a DOOZY
Gorsuch joined his four fellow Republican appointees — Chief Justice John Roberts and Justices Clarence Thomas, Anthony Kennedy and Samuel Alito — in the majority. They didn’t explain their reasons.
The court’s four liberal justices each voted to grant at least one of the requests to halt the executions. Justice Stephen Breyer said the state didn’t have an adequate reason to rush.
The inmates claimed that one of the ingredients in the lethal injection drugs could cause unnecessary pain in the execution, hence a violation of the Eighth Amendment’s prohibition against cruel and unusual punishment.
