Am I confused about the law on this or is it just another rogue order? The appeals court said proceed. Did she delay it again for a new reason? It is hard to believe her stated reason has not already been ruled on by SCOTUS. Was the new reason filed before her court and were any of the 4 men sentenced in her district?
How can a district court judge overrule an appeals court and how/why does she have venue? Judges should only be allowed to rule on issues within their own district. Another thing that should have been fixed after the election, but we had Paul Ryan as speaker.
I am sure they can parse “jurisdiction” because they are lawyers, but enough is enough. A Judge in Hawaii should never be allowed to issue an order against the President in DC regarding a policy in border states. It is turning our nation of “laws” into lawfare and venue/judge shopping.
An Indiana district federal judge [Obama judge] kept ruling that the execution would be delayed because of concerns from the victims’ family about the coronavirus pandemic.
She was overruled by her circuit court of appeals - the Seventh Circuit.
The three-judge Seventh panel found that the claim from the victims’ family “lacks any arguable legal basis and is therefore frivolous."
The anti-Deathers claimed that they were going to immediately appeal to the Supreme Court - but that course of action is a no-go, because the Supremes would have wiped themselves with the petition. They're busy, and have better things to do.
So the law-farers hit on the next best thing, apparently - get some DC district Bammy judge to rule on ANOTHER excuse for stopping the well-deserved snuff, with the old "cruel and unusual" ploy.
Had it been MY granddaughter, I can tell you that Danny Lee would have learned the true meaning of "cruel and unusual"...
