The U.S. Supreme Court ruled against a terminally ill death row inmate Monday, declaring that he missed a deadline for challenging one of his convictions.

Siebert, 53, has terminal pancreatic cancer and has been fighting in court to die naturally rather than from lethal injection.
Why waste taxpayer money on a pointless execution? I say pointless, because Siebert will likely be dead before another date is set.
Why is it so important to execute a terminally ill man for a crime he commited, when that man will die of a terminal disease, anyway? I just don't see the point, to be honest.
