Appeals court wipes away lower court ruling blocking federal executions

[TomSlick]

4. This is really a three-way decision. A lead opinion, a concurring opinion, and a dissent.

With all three opinions, the total runs to 88 pages. Between the lead opinion and the concurrence, it is not really clear to me what the district court judge is to do on remand.

The only thing that seems clear to me is that nothing is going to happen until the district court judge reconsiders the matter consistent with how she reads her instructions from the fractured court of appeals decision.
