JUST IN: A new TRO reportedly issued against the state in the McKesson litigation, from a new judge:https://twitter.com/katvjanelle/status/854842118015254530 …

Last Arkansas update of the night: I added in four docs in two 8th Cir appeals (1822 & 1824) to the project here: https://www.documentcloud.org/search/projectid:32714-Arkansas-April-Scheduled-Execution-Challenges-2 …
1822 is the federal clemency case appeal, and 1824 is Johnson's as-applied 8th Amendment claim appeal.
So the same 4-3 split? Is this a normal liberals conservative split on that court??
