From what I understand there was a lot of court activity today. Someone wiser will help spell it out for us.

Even if it was not 9-0 and even if he opposed Roberts, Scalia, and Thomas he still did the right thing. Alito has been on the court for less than 24 hours and he got this case of execution stay that was supposed to expire today. He cannot just go ahead and say yep go ahead and execute the guy without reviewing the case. He needs few days to review it in order to make a sound judgment and this tell a lot about his great demeanour and fairness.

I don't think that the writer meant split with conservatives on the court, I think that he meant split with conservative voters.

Justice Alito you have been in the Supreme court for few hours and now we want you to order the execution a man without reviewing his case!

I'm very, very confused. Please help. I thought they voted 9-0. There are four stories out there and none of them agree on the facts. This one seems to have the most different.

"He was expected to side with prosecutors more often than O'Connor, although as an appeals court judge, his record in death penalty cases was mixed."
Maybe his Catholicism came into play. The AP seems to be trying to make this non-story a story.

Just trying to make us look bad, then? Ho-hum, just another day at the office.

Thank you all. I guess I should be used to it, but I'm not!

"Justice Alito you have been in the Supreme court for few hours and now we want you to order the execution a man without reviewing his case!"No, you're absolutely right.
Those of us who supported this guy did so because we trusted his judgement.

If he hadn't reviewed the case, then he SHOULD have abstained, not voted the same way as Ruth Bader Ginsburg.
