        @chrisgeidner @davidminbklyn look at Hamilton v. Texas, 498 U.S. 908. Marshall slams that court abandoned the courtesy 5th vote for stay

        @the_scrivener @chrisgeidner my understanding is that courtesy remains in effect. If not that would be major news.

        @chrisgeidner @the_scrivener one way liberals could make it clear would be to vote for cert. then we'd know if courtesy was still in place

        @davidminbklyn @the_scrivener Right, but, as you note, they'd likely only do so in a case where they think Kennedy is gettable.

        @chrisgeidner @davidminbklyn you're over reading. Without 5 votes for stay, cert is pointless. Ringo dies and case is moot

        @chrisgeidner do you have an opinion on what's going on. It's happened a few times now. Hard to make sense of it.

        @davidminbklyn I think you're exactly right, tho I hadn't thought it thru previously. I think they let Kennedy decide when to go ahead.
