All that Alito sided with the libs on was to uphold the stay handed down by a lower court.

The USSC wasn't voting on anything but that!

The guy will get a temporary say while the lower it gets worked out how to kill him, thats it.

Its nothing to get excited about

Jonathan Adler from National Review gave a quick take of the decision on Bench Memos on NRO:

"On the Supreme Court for scarcely more than 24 hours and Justice Alito casts his first vote — with Justice Kennedy the Court's liberal wing to stay an execution pending in Missouri."

Glad somebody here gets it. The lower court voted to rehear the case. Alito voted to allow them to hear it. His vote says nothing about how he feels about the death penalty.
