Is he a liberal?

[Cicero]

As I understand it, this is just a temporary delay. I think AP is just trying to make trouble.

[Callahan]

Well, obviously this one vote is proof he's another Souter. I'll never vote for another Republican again. </hysteric Freeper response>

[PilloryHillary]

I dunno.....Don't think we're off to a good start, Justice Alito.

[Steamburg]

Probably hasn't seen one of these. They don't seem to do this kind of thing in his old circut.

[Peach]

THIS IS NOT CORRECT!

It was a 9-0 decision.

I'm confused, check this thread..

It says they all voted 9-0. So,which one is it?

[SteveMcKing]

It is common to make otherwise fireable mistakes on your first day at work (depending on the job of course).

[ZULU]

Uh-Oh.

[TankerKC]

When I was driving home this evening, the news on the radio was reporting this as a 9-0 decision. Curious.

"Is he a liberal?"

that is sarcasm isn't it.

regardless of political leanings as a first act as SC Judge to not allow review of a death penalty case would be harsh.

but then again the way the dems were talking I thought he was going to personally execute every woman and black on the day he was confirmed.

[MikefromOhio]

I seriously doubt it...

He voted WITH everyone else and it was a 9-0 decision.

It's only temporary also.

[TomGuy]

This report makes it sound as if it were a 5-4 decision.

Another report says "The court's 9-0 action was procedural, however, because a stay was already set to expire Wednesday afternoon.

Alito casts first vote in Missouri death penalty case - appeal says cruel and unusual punishment

WASHINGTON -- New Supreme Court Justice Samuel Alito cast his first vote on Wednesday, as the court refused to give Missouri permission to immediately execute a man who killed a teenage honor student. The court's 9-0 action was procedural, however, because a stay was already set to expire Wednesday afternoon.

Alito Opposes Mo. Execution

Well, I don't think we should execute Missouri either, afterall there are a lot of good people there.

;)

[headstamp]

AP is really pathetic. It was a 9-0 decision and is procedural.

Another strike for the MSM.

[Damifino]

I can't imagine Alito voting for political reasons, but you have to admit the buffoons in the Senate who labeled him a bigot and an ultra-rightwinger look like complete liars and fools.... I mean more than they did before.

Alito Opposes Mo. Execution

WHAT a friggen misleading headline!

Additional scorn for all who FELL for it!

Geesh!

Focus, read, research and cross-check your information people.

[Soul Seeker]

It was 9-0.

Who wrote this damn article.

Okay, checked, her name? GINA HOLLAND

I'm writing to AP.

[TomGuy]

Gina Holland, reporter of this AP article, seems to have gathered her information from Jason Blair's crystal ball.

[kingu]

With the case in Florida that the SCOTUS agreed to review, it makes sense that they'd stay all lethal injection cases until that case is heard and adjudicated. Said as much when that decision came down. Don't like it, but perhaps this will short list the executions afterward.
