Bill Lee: “I am reminded of Steve Bannon's statement that their agenda and their goal was to deconstruct the administrative state.”

So far as we know, the Department of Correction followed exactly the protocol that was outlined and vetted and approved by the attorney general’s office.

I hope that Tennessee governor Bill Lee’s decision to postpone the last execution scheduled for this year will give lawmakers time to consider the subject seriously.

It’s exactly why we will have a thorough, comprehensive review of what happened, so that we can know the answers that so many people want.

I have ordered a pause on all executions for the remainder of the year.
