Neal Katyal, who was the lawyer for Hidalgo at the Supreme Court, responds to today's cert denial —>https://twitter.com/neal_katyal/status/975735193632935936 …
Here’s my report on Hidalgo, the Arizona death penalty case the Supreme Court turned down today, and the aspect of the ruling that has death penalty opponents seeing cause for some hope.https://www.buzzfeed.com/chrisgeidner/death-penalty-opponents-see-some-good-news-in-the-supreme?utm_term=.ivV44NPMlO …
Surely the filing deadline should be irrelevant.
Should the Court not make the legally correct decision, and ignore any external deadline
Yes, but this is a stay application, not a merits decision. In practicality, the court needs to act — if it is going to grant a stay — before the new districts are put into effect. This is the task to the court, for example, when facing death penalty stay requests.
Those generally are on an even tighter timeframe and the outcome is, literally, life and death. Regarding PA, the court should aim, in my view, both to get it right and to do so in a timeframe that would not create undue difficulty.
Perhaps one or more justices are writing opinion(s) dissenting from denial of stay?
I mean, yes. But, it’s still verging on irresponsible not to have it out by now, given they, technically, could still grant the stay.
