Persecution, like a lion, tears the saints to death, but leaves Christianity pure: state establishment of religion, like a bear, hugs the saints, but corrupts Christianity, and reduces it to a level with state policy. Learn more about the case of Fulton v. Amanda and Holly discussed oral arguments in the case during season 2 of Respecting Religion. BJC hosted two webinars about the dangers of Christian nationalism in The court's liberal justices grilled a Biden administration lawyer who argued that they should reimpose the death penalty for Tsarnaev, The sentence was recommended by a jury but vacated by an appeals court.
Some of the court's conservatives, who outnumber the liberals six to three, appeared skeptical of the arguments made by Tsarnaev's attorney. The justices focused largely on evidence involving Tsarnaev's late brother, Tamerlan Tsarnaev, that was omitted from Dzhokhar's trial in federal district court in Massachusetts. Defense lawyers said the district court's exclusion of that evidence — which was related to a triple murder that Tamerlan's friend accused him of committing — undermined their case that Tamerlan influenced Dzhokhar.
Justice Elena Kagan noted to Deputy Solicitor General Eric Feigin that the jury was allowed to hear evidence about Tamerlan "poking somebody in the chest" and shouting at people "all because that showed what kind of person Tamerlan was and what kind of influence he might have had over his [younger] brother.
The federal government has argued to the Supreme Court that the appellate judgment was wrong, and that the U. Lawyers for Tsarnaev have responded that even if the high court vacated the appellate ruling and sent the case back for further review, issues with the jury and the evidence presented during Tsarnaev's trial would lead to the same outcome.
The federal government is pushing for the death penalty for Tsarnaev even as President Joe Biden's Justice Department takes action to halt federal executions. Former President Donald Trump's administration, which asked the Supreme Court to review the appeals court's ruling on Tsarnaev, carried out 13 such executions during Trump's final months in office.
