Notable USSC Order

Concern for the drug protocol led the Eighth Circuit to stay an execution (the state just executed someone with an unfortunate first two names). The USSC vacated it 5-4, the dissent at least wanting to give the court time to clarify. Concerns like these are fairly common though lead to the "death penalty delayed but not denied."
