dissenting.

Adhering to my view that the death penalty cannot be imposed fairly within the constraints of our Constitution, see my dissent in Callins v. Collins, 510 U. S. 1141 , 1143 (1994), I would grant the application for stay of execution and the petition for writ of certiorari and would remand with instructions to enjoin petitioner’s execution.
