      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.

      Legally speaking, I think it must be asked what has to happen before the warrant expires. Does execution have to take place, begin, what?

      Do the Arkansas officials, where an execution hasn't taken place since 2005, know what the confines of "will carry into effect" are?

          Yes. SCOTUS' contempt power for starters against state agents in their official capacity. There could be others as well.

          It was a hypothetical. Didn't know if any states had done it before. If it's DOJ that'd pursue, not sure Sessions would do it.

          And that is precisely what is so worrisome about the current cabinet, each appointee is the antithesis of the agency s/he heads.

          Completely true. It's not just DOJ, it's all across the board. It's both infuriating and heartbreaking.
