The United States Supreme Court split along gender lines during a ruling issued Thursday evening.
"The U.S. Supreme Court granted the states application to vacate the injunction, clearing the way for Alabama to execute Alan Miller tonight. Justice Sonia Sotomayor, Justice Elena Kagan, Justice Amy Coney Barrett, and Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson voted to deny the application," the Birmingham News reported Thursday evening.
Before Thursday's legal wrangling, Miller was scheduled to be executed at 6 p.m. eastern. He is now expected to be executed later this evening.
"Among other things, tonights ruling is the third time this Term that [the Supreme Court] has granted a states emergency application to allow an execution to proceed (after lower courts had blocked it)," University of Texas Law Prof. Steve Vladeck noted.
