      How Justice Neil Gorsuch figured into last night's execution, the 7th in the US this year: https://www.buzzfeed.com/chrisgeidner/thursday-arkansas-executions-story?utm_term=.tgAYby0Dq#.by8L9e2X8 …pic.twitter.com/VYCzA4yhUX

      Without Gorsuch, though, wouldn't a 4-4 split have still meant the execution would have gone through anyway?

      Yes, it wasn't necessarily outcome changing — but it was outcome-determinative. If he'd voted for a stay, it would have been stayed.

          Sure, but that means his vote against a (new) stay showed his being on court had no effect. If next one overturns a stay, then it's all him.

          Oh, I rely on you to help me untangle this stuff! :) Even my lawyer husband has to admit he learns from what I learn from you.

          Sorry, I just think the "he had no effect" is simplistic. There was no vote for more than a year. His vote could have made a difference.

          And, we didn't know until last night how — unconstrained by being a circuit court judge — he would rule on such a request. Now, we know.

          Of course, all cases are different, so maybe we'll learn more in merits cases that we couldn't glean from a stay vote. We will see.

          Thanks, that's helpful. Seems safe to bet on his overturning stays against execution in the future. So, significant beyond this case.
