        This — whether lengthy delays of execution raise constitutionality questions — is an issue that Breyer has long pressed.

        Earlier this year, it appeared #SCOTUS had granted a case raising this question—but turned out that question was NOT granted by the court.

        We see tonight that Breyer, apparently, remains alone — at least in being willing to speak out on his view on this issue.

        Apologies for the confusion tonight. I had not realized there was a case pending at the 11th Circuit when the initial SCOTUS ruling came.

        Usually, SCOTUS holds all petitions in a case if they expect multiple so that they can consider them/issue decisions together.

        I have to imagine the court was wondering what was going on here if they issued the ruling out of GA before getting petition out of 11th.

        #SCOTUS can rule when it wants, however, and it chose to rule on the one petition before receiving the second.https://www.buzzfeed.com/chrismcdaniel/georgia-scheduled-to-end-nations-two-month-death-penalty-hia?utm_term=.ydW1wEVKNe#.vj0x7OPJZL …

        So, despite some hope from some capital defense attorneys, the justices do not appear to have treated the two petitions differently.

        I am still awaiting word from Georgia, where there is nothing standing in the way of them proceeding with the execution of John Conner.

        @gabrielmalor Because of course the courts have nothing to do with the length of the delays.
