2. In terms of *abolition, my gut is that it doesn't much change things.

3. I have long thought that SCOTUS will only abolish the death penalty when Kennedy is ready to do so at the cert stage.

5. Does Scalia's death/the 8 person court speed up Kennedy or slow him down? Strikes me as plausible arguments either direction.
