Remember: It only takes four votes for #SCOTUS to hear a case (grant cert), but five votes for a stay of execution.
@chrisgeidner but even so, the court didn't grant stay/cert until 2005, ruling in Simmons in 2006. I think it'll be a while.
@chrisgeidner that's the one with the line "We should put an end to this shameful practice." And that was for 4 justices.
@chrisgeidner I think it's way too soon. Stevens' dissent in In re Stanford called for end of juv death penalty in 2002.
