I think that we should not make death painful. Being paralyzed sounds really unpleasant. We should use a fatal overdose of opiates. Besides, we would have less guilty people appealing for years.

And look at this
"He was also was given his assignment for handling emergency appeals: Arkansas, Iowa, Minnesota, Missouri, Nebraska, North Dakota and South Dakota. As a result, Missouri filed with Alito its request for the high court to void a stay and allow Taylor's execution."

It sounds like Arkansas may have handed this to Alito on purpose and he may be wise to take a few days to look at it.

On the other hand this is from the Washington Post so it's not unreasonable to assume they are biased against Alito.

Death shouldn't be painful. I think hanging is the most humane. Snap.

Alito may have simply deferred to a stay in this case based on a need for him to review it.

I would not rule in favor of an execution unless I had time to review the case completely.

Also, some freepers here are out of control reactionary like liberals, not you gondramB.

Some people freaked out about Roberts being an unknown and despite the reservations he has been solid.

Conservatives from Ann Coulter to Mark Levin have staked their reputation on the value of a Justice Alito and those folks do not put their name on the line for a closet liberal.

Remember, Ted Kennedy went mental the other day. He did that because Justice Alito was on the horizon.

Also, ever think this vote was an initial slap in the face to Ted Kennedy inferring that Alito is a bigot who never votes in favor of blacks.

Don't know that, but I can tell you this. I will not go reactionary liberal like some freepers.
