    D.C. Circuit Fast-Tracks Federal Execution Case

    By Kent Scheidegger
    crimeandconsequences.com

    On Friday, the murderers on federal death row won what may have been a Pyrrhic victory. The high court declined to stay or vacate the injunction against their execution. However, the Court signaled its expectation that "the Court of Appeals will render its decision with appropriate dispatch." There is also an opinion "respecting the denial of stay or vacatur" by Justice Alito joined, significantly, by the two junior Justices. Today it is clear that the D.C. Circuit is paying attention.

    Justice Alito makes clear that he does not think much of the District Court's "manner" versus "method" distinction, along the same lines as my November 26 post. While the full Court contents itself with indicating "appropriate dispatch" is in order, Justice Alito puts a number on it. "Get 'er done" in 60 days, Court of Appeals, or we might just vacate the District Court's injunction without waiting for you.

    Last April I noted the encouraging impatience expressed in Justice Gorsuch's opinion for the Court in the Bucklew case. Chief Justice Roberts and Justice Kavanaugh joined that opinion. There now appears to be a majority of the Supreme Court, albeit a thin one, ready to finally put their collective feet down and stop the games murderers play to indefinitely delay their fully justified and long overdue executions.

    Today the D.C. Circuit set a briefing and argument schedule. The case will be fully briefed by January 13 and argued two days later, Wednesday, January 15.

    The panel hearing the appeal before the United States Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit will be made up of Judges Tatel (Clinton), Katsas (Trump) and Rao (Trump).

    Ironic that it’s going to be argued on what would have been the date of the final execution.
    Violence and death seem to be the only answers that some people understand.

    We actually got an even better panel. Katsas and Rao are the best we could have for this.

    This may be the last chance to conduct federal executions.

    If Trump gets reelected we'll surely see executions before his presidency ends. Otherwise, this our last chance.

    Yes and even so, a future Republican president could see furthermore executions. The hearing scheduled for January 15, 2020 hopefully paves the way for executions in the May, June or July.

    Whichever democrat succeeds Trump will surely issue a blanket commutation. And I think Trump could very well be one of the last Republican presidents. Texas will surely go blue in a decade or so, at which point it's basically over.

    If you get a ruling that merely requires the protocol be reissued by USMS and be applied only to those sentenced in one-drug states (with separate protocols for three-drug and non-LI states to follow as needed) do you go ahead and do that, or do you appeal, knowing that going to SCOTUS means it will likely not make the docket until next term?

    I vote the former. Better to get some of these guys than nothing at all.
