I was joking.
The appeal to the supreme court was done by the state of missouri, not by the scumbag's lawyer. The lower court had already granted the stay. Alito simply voted not to overturn it on his first day. Objectively it was a conservative decision. I'm sure he was not prepared to send a man to his grave while he was unpacking his bags and had no clue as to the facts in the case.
Give it a rest.
Right. That's precisely what I've been thinking.
Give it a rest.
Hey! I'm on yer side. ;)
I just don't believe we need to be tossing Alito under the bus so early on. I also believe that Alito has his own mind, and is capable of forming his own opinions and decisions without having to tow someone's line, like Scalia's.
