Here is the application under which the four more liberal justices would've granted a stay to Goodwin:pic.twitter.com/RVdEAJVDux
@chrisgeidner Bucklew I meant to say…
@JoshLee_ar Right. The point is that the court isn't telling us, and that's bullshit.
@chrisgeidner Or it may have been that they couldn't get a fifth to sign on for the stay—the case would be moot before it was briefed.
@n8inSLC That's been the discussion over recent months as to why this is being handled like this, yes. That issue is an underlying question.
@chrisgeidner it's been happening over and over this past year
@MikeSacksEsq Yes, I'm aware. It happened tonight, so I'm reporting it.
@chrisgeidner I think the denial that was unanimous related to the mental retardation claim and the other was from the still pending LI case
@chrisgeidner The dissenters may have believed a stay pending lower courts’ consideration of claim on merits was warranted. Cf. Buckley.
