The CA Supreme Court is considering our landmark petition challenging the state’s death penalty as racially discriminatory and unconstitutional. Meanwhile, we’ve called on @governor.ca.gov Newsom to commute the sentences of the 570 people on death row to life without parole.

I don’t mean to be a caricature, but this just isn’t law. The Supreme Court is always making policy. But this is beyond. “This dicta in an emergency order will reassure the markets but just uh trust us on the law here ok no we’re not overruling Humphrey’s yet and when we do we’ll spare the fed.”
