Thanks, Flip.
Yes, the Jackson case has been cited several times. Getting the courts and governors of 19 states to ignore the SC's decision and execute anyway? Not gonna happen!

Perhaps, but why not? What Jackson did was MUCH worse. In addition, you pick your battles. For example, a ruling holding that terrorist have the constitutional right to counsel can be ignored. It has to START somewhere and sometime or else we truly are no longer a republic.
