A federal appeals court in Washington, D.C. has lifted a stay of execution for a female death row prisoner scheduled to be executed later this month.
Lisa Montgomery, the only female on the federal death row, had been scheduled to die by lethal injection in December, but a federal judge ordered a delay.
I see the leftist judges on the DC Circuit trying to reinstate the stay of execution via an en banc decision--why leftist judges go out of their way to impart their own beliefs on the death penalty on these clear cut cases and given clear direction from the Supreme Court is beyond me--but the Supreme Court ultimately allowing the execution to proceed as planned.
WASHINGTON - When convicted murderer Orlando Hall was executed at a federal prison complex in Indiana on Nov. 19, it marked the first time in more than a century that a federal execution was carried out in the remaining months of an outgoing U.S. president’s term following an election.
But this will not be the only execution during the final weeks of President Donald Trump's term. Five other federal inmates condemned to death, including the only woman currently on the federal death row, are scheduled to be executed over the next two months. The last is slated to take place just five days before Trump leaves office on January 20.
What is sick about it?
What is sick are the crimes committed, in which they have been sentenced to death.
As with immigration, Trump has not changed anything, he is enforcing it and getting it going as the law states.
Trump did not sentence these people to death, the justice system did.

Good to see appeals court recognize that justice must be served.
Lisa Montgomery, a convicted killer whose attorneys say had debilitating mental disease, was executed in a federal prison in Indiana early Wednesday. She was the first woman executed in the federal system in nearly seven decades.
Montgomery was convicted of strangling a Missouri woman who was eight months pregnant in 2004 and taking her unborn baby, who survived.
The 52-year-old woman was pronounced dead at 1:31 a.m. Wednesday after receiving a lethal injection at the federal prison complex in Terre Haute, Indiana, the Federal Bureau of Prisons said.
