BREAKING: #SCOTUS will not stop Tennessee's scheduled execution of David Miller, who is to be executed by electric chair. Justice Sotomayor dissents. 
In the second petition/stay request before the court in Miller's case, also denied, Sotomayor writes about her reasons for dissenting: "These cases are the unfortunate byproducts of this Court's decision in Glossip v. Gross. Such madness should not continue."
Sotomayor has long criticized the court's decision in Glossip, which made clear that death row inmates challenging their method of execution must provide an alternative means of execution. Part of her criticism, at issue here, comes down to: But what if both are unconstitutional?
“Such madness should not continue,” Sotomayor writes of the court’s current way of dealing with method-of-execution challenges — and the fallout questions the decision in Glossip created that the court has, thus far, declined to take up.
