          Midnight in DC. Still no word from #SCOTUS on Arkansas' request to vacate a stay of execution granted by Ark Sup Ct.https://www.buzzfeed.com/chrisgeidner/monday-arkansas-executions-story?utm_term=.clqZKnzk4y#.yaEkB37Gyw …

          Let's be clear, though. #SCOTUS stepping in to vacate a stay of execution granted by a state supreme court would be very unusual.

          This raises an interesting point. Usually, at this point, there's no stay: the inmate is asking #SCOTUS for a stay.https://twitter.com/Stevelpope/status/854186327809642496 …

          Here, there's a stay. The state does not have the authority to execute Don Davis. Beginning the process w/ a stay could lead to trouble.
