With the case in Florida that the SCOTUS agreed to review, it makes sense that they'd stay all lethal injection cases until that case is heard and adjudicated. Said as much when that decision came down. Don't like it, but perhaps this will short list the executions afterward.

you are correct. that florida case is the one to watch. and to watch carefully. I sense a possible 5-4 there, with Kennedy voting against the death penalty. if the lethal injection method is cruel and unusual, then the SCOTUS (5 of them at least) can essentially declare all methods of death such, effectivley eliminating the death penalty.

it could happen, and it bears watching.
