Justices Stay Execution in Dispute Over Pastor’s Role

· Leave a Comment

“The Supreme Court on Wednesday stayed the execution of a Texas inmate whose request that his pastor be able to touch and pray aloud with him in the death chamber had been rejected by prison authorities,” the New York Times reports.

“The court also agreed to review the case on its merits, without noted dissents. The court’s brief order said the case would be argued in October or November.”

Same Election. Different Stories.

Election Day brings a flood of political news — and which sources you follow can shape the story you see.

That's why I appreciate what Ground News does. It shows how the same story is covered across the political spectrum — and highlights important stories that one side may be ignoring entirely.

And when the votes are counted and everyone starts debating what they mean, it's a useful way to get a broader view.
