Among the questions: Is the district judge advising the Supreme Court on how to handle the Davis case or is the matter now formally in the district court again?

(Newly sworn-in Justice Sonia Sotomayor did not participate in the case.) Is this step a prelude to an official determination that the Constitution forbids the execution of an innocent prisoner, a seemingly obvious assumption that has never been formally declared...

It is a political issue of the first degree and not a matter of justice because [achieving] justice has other methods.
