The Supreme Court, opening a new Term Monday, took no action on an appeal testing whether it is unconstitutional to execute a death-row inmate who has a significant claim of innocence. The Court's 82-page list of orders on pending cases contained no word on Troy Anthony Davis' appeal, Davis v. Georgia (08-66). His scheduled execution has been temporarily postponed by the Court. The Court will consider the case again at its private Conference on Friday, according to the Court's electronic docket.
