This landmark United States federal law passed by the 117th U.S. Congress repeals the Defense of Marriage Act (DOMA), requires the U.S. federal government and all U.S. states and territories to recognize the validity of same-sex and interracial civil marriages in the U.S., and protects religious liberty.

Alex Anderson easily removed the trustee’s fur coat from her shoulders, hanging it in the closet with the honor it deserved. “Ms. Ruby Jackson,” he greeted her. “So good to see you.

This report only confirms that the lethal injection protocol in Tennessee is irreparably flawed. The TDOC’s failure to follow its own protocols, its reliance on shady compounding drug suppliers, as well as state attorneys’ misstatements to the court are the predictable results of a failed policy veiled in secrecy. The state’s unwillingness to carry out executions in the light of day reinforces our belief that we shouldn’t be carrying them…
NASHVILLE, Tenn. – Today Governor Bill Lee’s office released an independent investigator’s report on the state’s lethal injection operations. The inspector’s findings include that: · After the state revised its lethal injection protocol in 2018, there is no evidence that it ever provided the pharmacy tasked with testing Tennessee’s lethal injection chemicals with a copy of Tennessee’s lethal injection protocol. · The state failed to carry out its own lethal injection protocol in a number of executions, including a failure to properly test drugs before executions took place. · The state was prepared to use defective drugs in at least one execution, and the report…
