Opinion of

Justice Stevens,

with whom Justice Soxjter and Justice Ginsburg join, respecting the denial of the petition for a writ of certiorari.

As I have pointed out on more than one occasion, the denial of a petition for a writ of certiorari is not a ruling on the merits. Sometimes such an order reflects nothing more than a conclusion that a particular case may not constitute an appropriate forum in which to decide a significant issue. In this case, the Sixth Circuit held that the city charter “merely removed municipally enacted special protection from gays and lesbians.” 128 F. 3d 289, 301 (1997). This construction differs significantly, although perhaps not dispositively, from the reading advocated by the petitioners. They construe the charter as an enactment that "bars antidiscrim-ination protections only for gay, lesbian and bisexual citizens.” Pet. for Cert. i.

This Court does not normally make an independent examination of state-law questions that have been resolved by a court of appeals. See Bishop v. Wood, 426 U. S. 341, 346-347 (1976). Thus, the confusion over the proper construction of the city charter counsels against granting the petition for certiorari. The Court’s action today should not be interpreted either as an independent construction of the charter or as an expression of its views about the underlying issues that the parties have debated at length.

        Brown v. Texas, 522 U. S. 940, 942 (1997) (opinion of Stevens, J., respecting denial of certiorari); Lackey v. Texas, 514 U. S. 1045, 1047 (1995); Barber v. Tennessee, 513 U. S. 1184 (1995) (opinion of Stevens, J., respecting denial of certiorari).

       The relevant amendment to the city charter reads:
      “‘The City of Cincinnati and its various Boards and Commissions may not enact, adopt, enforce or administer any ordinance, regulation, rule or policy which provides that homosexual, lesbian, or bisexual orientation, status, conduct, or relationship constitutes, entitles, or otherwise provides a person with the basis to have any claim of minority or protected status, quota preference or other preferential treatment. This provision of the City Charter shall in all respects be self-executing. Any ordinance, regulation, rule or policy enacted before this amendment is adopted that violates the foregoing prohibition shall be null and void and of no force or effect.’” 128 F. 3d 289, 291 (CA6 1997).

    Elledge v. Florida.
   Sup. Ct. Fla. Certiorari denied.

Justice Breyer,

dissenting.

Petitioner in this case has spent more than 23 years in prison under sentence of death. His claim—that the Constitution forbids his execution after a delay of this length—is a serious one.

The Eighth Amendment forbids punishments that are “cruel” and “unusual.” Twenty-three years under sentence of death is unusual—whether one takes as a measuring rod current practice or the practice in this country and in England at the time our Constitution was written. See, e. g., P. Mackay, Hanging in the Balance: The Anti-Capital Punishment Movement in New York State, 1776-1861, p. 17 (1982) (executions took place soon after sentencing in 18th-century New York); Pratt v. Attorney Gen. of Jamaica, [1994] 2 App. Cas. 1, 17 (P. C. 1993) (same in United Kingdom); see also T. Jefferson, A Bill for Proportioning Crimes and Punishments (1779), reprinted in The Complete Jefferson 90, 95 (S. Padover ed. 1943); 2 Papers of John Marshall 207-209 (C. Cullen & H. Johnson eds. 1977) (petition seeking commutation of a death sentence in part because of lengthy 5-month delay).

Moreover, petitioner argues forcefully that his execution would be especially “cruel.” Not only has he, in prison, faced the threat of death for nearly a generation, but he has experienced that delay because of the State's own faulty procedures and not because of frivolous appeals on his own part. Has three successful appeals account for 18 of the 23 years of delay. A fourth appeal accounts for the remaining five years—which appeal, though ultimately unsuccessful, left the Florida Supreme Court divided 4-2. 706 So. 2d 1340 (1997); see Brief in Opposition 12 (conceding that “[a]ll delays were a result of [petitioner’s] ‘successful litigation’ in the appellate courts of Florida and the federal system”).

As Justice Stevens has previously pointed out, executions carried out after delays of this magnitude may prove particularly cruel. Lackey v. Texas, 514 U. S. 1045 (1995) (opinion respecting denial of certiorari). After such a delay, an execution may well cease to serve the legitimate penological purposes that otherwise provide a necessary constitutional justification for the death penalty. Ibid. Moreover, British jurists have suggested that the Bill of Rights of 1689, a document relevant to the interpretation of our own Constitution, may forbid, as cruel and unusual, significantly lesser delays. Riley v. Attorney Gen. of Jamaica, [1983] 1 App. Cas. 719, 734-735 (P. C. 1982) (Lord Scarman, joined by Lord Brightman, dissenting). See generally Harmelin v. Michigan, 501 U. S. 957, 966-967 (1991) (Scaua, J., concurring in judgment) (on the relevance of the 1689 Bill of Rights to the interpretation of our own Constitution).

Finally, a reasoned answer to the “delay” question could help to ease the practical anomaly created when foreign courts refuse to extradite capital defendants to America for fear of undue delay in execution. See Soering v. United Kingdom, 11 Eur. H. R. Rep. 439 (1989) (holding that the extradition of a capital defendant to America would be a violation of Article 3 of the European Convention on Human Rights, primarily because of the risk of delay before execution).

For these reasons, and for the additional reasons set forth by Justice Stevens in Lackey, supra, I would grant the petition for certiorari.

    Lawson et al. v. Murray et ux.
   Super. Ct. N. J., App. Div. Certiorari denied.

Justice Scaua,

concurring.

This case approves a degree of restriction upon free speech that is unparalleled in the opinions of this Court. Petitioners have been enjoined from carrying signs with generalized antiabortion messages, and signs identifying respondent as an abortionist. The prohibition is absolute with respect to the public street along the 330-foot front property line of the 1.25 acre parcel occupied (with an 80-foot setback) by respondent’s residence; but it also prevents sign carrying beyond that zone (and “around” the Murray home), except for picketing by no more than 15 persons, no more than one hour every two weeks, and only if the police department is given 24 hours’ notice. This silencing of speech on the public sidewalks has not been imposed to remedy any violence, disruption of traffic, or other tortious or unlawful activity that petitioners have engaged in or threatened; no such activity has occurred.

This dispute is here for the third time. An injunction against similar picketing at respondents’ former residence, affirmed by the New Jersey Supreme Court, was vacated and remanded for reconsideration in light of our decision in Madsen v. Women’s Health Center, Inc., 512 U. S. 753 (1994). See Murray v. Lawson, 136 N. J. 32, 642 A. 2d 338, vacated and remanded, 513 U. S. 802 (1994). On remand the New Jersey Supreme Court revised the injunction, making it similar to what the one here provides. Murray v. Lawson, 138 N. J. 206, 649 A. 2d 1253 (1994). We denied certiorari in that case. 515 U. S. 1110 (1995). Subsequent to that decision, the Murrays moved, and sought a new injunction preventing picketing around their new residence. An injunction issued and was approved by the Appellate Division of the Superior Court of New Jersey; the Supreme Court of New Jersey declined a petition for certification.

Although I believe that what New Jersey has approved here makes a mockery of First Amendment law, I concur in the denial of certiorari for the same reasons I concurred the last time this dispute was here. See ibid. First, the lower court’s reliance on a so-called “captive audience” exception to the doctrine of prior restraints may make it difficult to reach the most significant question the case presents: whether prior restraint of speech may be imposed in absence of actual or threatened illegality. And second, experience suggests that seeking to bring the First Amendment to the assistance of abortion protesters is more likely to harm the former than help the latter.
