do you know what was actually argued and held in this case?

They allowed an appeal to go forward on the Constitutionality of the leathal injection. This same issue was allowed to go forward on two cases last week in Florida. Eventually, one of these three cases will be ruled on by the Supreme Court and this issue will be resolved. Why so many people are making a huge issue over this is beyond me.

You seem to be the only one on this thread making a huge issue out of it. You claim the article has been posted a dozen times. That's obvious exaggeration. I can only find a single other instance where a similar article was posted, not this one.

I think everyone is just asking for more information and making comments. Quite obviously, this vote is somewhat jarring in the face of Alito's strong conservative and originalist credentials. But as pointed out in multiple responses, including one of mine, he seems to have responded in a cautious and responsible manner.

You can turn off the spin machine.
