Nothing to do with him, she was sentenced by the courts before Obama came into office. He could have let somebody stay in prison the rest of her life- somebody who strangled an expectant mother then cut her baby out of her womb, but why should he have. How would you feel if the slaughtered victim had been a relative. Playing the mentally ill card was just a lie, she could reply when asked if she had any last words, could not even aplologise.

I think the administration has killed all those that it can, so there's that.

 

Justice Sotomayor slams government for "unprecedented rush" in federal executions in dissent: "This is not justice"

 

As noted in Sotomayor's opinion, the Federal Death Penalty Act was enacted in 1994. Before July 2020, only three people had been federally executed — two in 2001 and one person in 2003. 

 

After a 17-year hiatus, President Trump resumed federal executions in July 2020. By December, the U.S. government had executed more people within the year than all the states that still conduct executions.
