"Each state should take the little sobs to the steps of the supreme court [lower case on purpose]and release them. Along with the terorists the federal judges want to set free."

The States could, of course, just simply refuse to obey the decision and proceed with executions anyway.

It would then really be up to the President to decide whether or not the Executive Branch, meaning the Federal Marshalls, FBI, and the like, would enforce the rulings on the States or allow the State override of the decision to stand.
