11. This is what you get when you let republiscum pack the SCOTUS

Scalia: Killing innocent men not unconstitutional.

Bush Jr appointed 2 of these clowns- Bush Jr who laughed at and mocked requests for clemency with 'boo hoo' gestures.

[gateley]

12. I am STUNNED! And enraged!

[blueclown]

13. Must be past Scalia's bedtime.

Shameful.

[Firebrand Gary]

Crowds outside the facility have their heads hung in prayer.

[sad sally]

14. American justice system - hang your head in shame.

"If you lock someone up for life, you take him off the streets, but you can later release him and compensate him if you discover that you made an error. If you kill him, you no longer have that option and you also send a message that violent solutions -- executions -- are approved by the state."

15. Just on DN!: It was unanimous

No dissensions

[Parker CA]

18. The SCOTUS vote??

[WhoIsNumberNone]

19. Yes

[Parker CA]

25. Geezus christ. WTF is wrong with this country?

[Chorophyll]

21. Christ. Even worse.

Breyer? Sotomayor? Ginsberg? Really? We're fucked in this country.

[gateley]

29. The guy on w/Ed said that the SCOTUS has a different legal

criteria regarding this -- or something -- and so he wasn't really surprised.

Maybe as we learn more about the legalities we'll understand it better but hell, how COULD they??? Seems pretty cut and dried to me!

[BzaDem]

31. They usually do not say "no dissents." There can be dissenting votes even if it isn't noted, if the

dissenting votes don't write an opinion.

There can be dissenting votes with or without an opinion, and with or without any notation on the order. So I don't see how DN could know.

I was assuming the reason for a delay was that they we're waiting for an opinion, but apparently there are no opinions. So we will probably never know, as is the case most of the time.

16. I'm so sick of justice being thwarted, subverted, and denied in this country. n/t

27. Guess they didn't want to be bothered with any actual thought...

sick. just sick.

[Chorophyll]

20. Crap. I'm not surprised, but still. Crap. nt

[Modern_Matthew]

22. Denied by a group of people not elected by the people... nt

[pipi_k]

23. I had a feeling this would happen as soon

as I saw all those cops in riot gear brought in and police cars driving around with lights and sirens earlier.

I'm sorry for all involved.

:(


Except for the state of Georgia and the Supreme Court.

[FourScore]

28. There are alot of people in GA who worked hard to stop his execution.

let's not condemn the whole state.

[pipi_k]

34. OK let me clarify

the part(s) of the state of Georgia that allowed this to happen.

Those are the ones who disgust me.

[Glimmer of Hope]

26. This is flat out wrong!

[WhoIsNumberNone]

30. SCOTUS staement = One sentence

"Application for stay of execution presented to Justice Thomas denied"

No further explanation.

Larry Cox of Amnesty Int. calls it "cowardly" and "shameful"

[handmade34]

32. I am so disgusted

and ashamed of my country...

[pipi_k]

33. thirty minutes...

that's when the execution will begin

:(

35. Just tweeted by The Nation:

Now conflicting reports that full court was not allowed to decide Troy Davis case.

[unkachuck]

36. no dissents....

....it's for circumstances like this, that we specifically vote for a Dem Prez and for his supreme court appointments so they may render justice....
