    This is from the motion to vacate the stay, as I predicted:

    "This Court has in the past summarily vacated stays of
    execution when a lower court “enjoined [the] execution without
    finding that [the prisoner] has a significant possibility of
    success on the merits.” Dunn v. McNabb, 138 S. Ct. 369, 369
    (2017). Such intervention is, if anything, especially warranted
    here, where the court of appeals correctly recognized that
    respondent cannot succeed on his claims, and gave no indication
    that it believes either the en banc court of appeals or this Court
    will grant discretionary review to reverse the denial of
    respondent’s habeas application -- and yet ordered a stay
    nonetheless. A last-minute stay in these circumstances is directly
    contrary to the strict limitations that Congress imposed on
    collateral review of federal criminal convictions, and this Court
    should not allow it to remain in place."

    Purkey's execution should have been the priority, since he was the oldest. Any delays and he will die of old age before justice is carried out. Need to find my BOP FOIA request to update my oldest inmate thread now.

    Yeah he’s old but I think justice in this case was served since there are death row inmates way older than he his like David Carpenter. Moody was executed at 83.

    so it looks like purkey will get what he deserves. still totally saddens me that he and other death row inmates have many more constitutional rights than their victims. and they have more of those rights than those who have never been arrested for anything. geez! and the money comes from we the people!

    Honken also lost on this front. This denial was issued by the same judge who granted the injunction to the victim's family in Lee's case. It's good to see a judge accept being overturned, unlike a certain District Judge that I do not think we have heard the last of.

    Due to RBG's hospitalization, if the U.S. Supreme Court is facing another decision on Purkey's execution being a 4-4 vote, the lower court ruling if denied will go into effect and the execution will go forward. There is an expectation for delays with appeals pending in the Courts.

    A 5-3 vote on the conservative side of the Court will ensure Purkey's execution.

    Do we know whether her right to vote on appeals can simply be ignored if, for example, she would go unconscious for a couple of days while these execution appeals play out?
