Here are the two questions the Court agreed to hear:

The issues, then, don't have much to do directly with the Eighth Amendment propriety of the Florida methodology. The case boils down (it would seem) to whether the condemned has a pre-death right to pursue a private action for a violation of his Eighth Amendment rights and whether (as the Eleventh Circuit held in this case) that challenge is different from a habeas proceeding concerning the propriety of the execution in the first instance. The Court won't (it would seem) decide the Eighth Amendment question, though.

Yeah, you're right. The AP report didn't have the questions that were presented. I guess he will have to get an ruling in his favor in the SC and then, work his way back up the system before the "cruel and unusual" issue is before the Court.

I'm won't surprised, I'm sure the government is looking into all of our PM's.

We'll get resolution to this question fairly quickly. Final papers from the parties are due at the Supreme Court on April 17, with argument before the Court to be set the week of April 24, and an opinion due before the justices take their summer recess.
