These government killings gave new meaning to Operation Warp Speed: Instead of taking the necessary measures to protect millions of Americans from the physical and economic ravages of COVID-19, the “pro-life” federal government put work into carrying out 13 executions.

In November 2018, I visited Angola prison in Louisiana, and saw where the state injected prisoners with a cocktail that rendered them unconscious, paralyzed their muscles, discontinued their breathing, and stopped their hearts. The table was long and blue, its leather upholstery covering a thin layer of foam padding.

The Justice Department immediately appealed to the Supreme Court. Ultimately, Lewis was executed shortly after the court, in a 5-4 ruling, paved the way for 10 people to be executed by the federal government by year’s end.
