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.

Do you think they'd ever go ahead with an execution anyway? If so, would there be enforceable penalties?
-
Yes. SCOTUS' contempt power for starters against state agents in their official capacity. There could be others as well.
-
Thanks. Don't think they'll do it, but was curious since they're pushing so hard.
-
They better not. States rights vs. federalism goes back decades and we know the feds came out winning.
-
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.

Considering it was Alito, I wasn't sure what he would do.
-
I don't think it's actually up to him, I think more a procedural thing - no one dissented and sometimes they do

The AR judge denied the state's request for execution. State files emergency appeal. It was in SCOTUS' hand and they sided w/ AR judge. 1/

So if you have any issue, take it up with SCOTUS. 2/2

It boils down to saving money. A plastic bag works, and is much cheaper.

We really need to take a.look at this. All this fuss when a nickel worth of lead will do the trick. Gross incompetence and waste of money.

How do they handle contacting the justices at this late hour and the voting process?
