Round-Up: More on Grants

David Savage and Henry Weinstein’s piece in the LA Times today focuses on the High Court’s decision to hear a challenge to the most common chemical combination used in lethal injections. A ruling in favor of the petitioners, Savage and Weinstein write, “would not prohibit lethal injections” but could force officials to use “new or different chemicals.” Linda Greenhouse writes in her NY Times piece that, while Baze v. Rees is pending, judges are “certain to be asked to bar” such lethal injection executions.

Greenhouse’s detailed article on the voter ID cases includes their history in the lower courts.

James Oliphant of the Chicago Tribune discusses these two big cases coming out of the long conference and comments that both “could have an impact on next year’s races.”
