"undue suffering"

That same argument can be used by his victims to fry the SOB.

Now let's not freak out yet. There are some real issues with that "cocktail." It's not like he was a swing vote or anything, either.

Nitrogen asphyxiation. Cheep, painless, effective.

"The way a justice votes on a stay request does not necessarily signal how the justice will rule on the merits of a death penalty case. The court earlier this week granted a similar stay of execution to another death row inmate from Florida."

Right now, it is too early to tell. This involves procedural aspects rather than merits of the case. Clarence Thomas has voted this way in the past only to later rule against the petitioner on the merits.

BS. It was a 9-0 decision. There have been a number of incorrect articles floating around.

Evidently you couldn't wait to show how ill-informed you are.

9-0, but it was a moot procedural vote anyway.

"WASHINGTON -- New Supreme Court Justice Samuel Alito cast his first vote on Wednesday, as the court refused to give Missouri permission to immediately execute a man who killed a teenage honor student.

The court's 9-0 action was procedural, however, because a stay was already set to expire Wednesday afternoon. "


Alito also had been on the USSCJ for only 16 hours or so. Even if this article was true.... maybe he wanted more time to review the case before deciding?

[TheForceOfOne]

He's doing exactly what he said he would do.

Rush already talked about this.

Evidently you didn't watch the Alito hearings.

[NapkinUser]

Some here are acting very paranoid over one ruling which, if Limbaugh is right, was exactly what he said he'd do.

The MSM is just letting their own wishing thinking about Alito being another Souter get in the way.

[writmeister]

I thought the issue before the Court is whether the §1983 civil rights statute can be used to by-pass the regular civil habeas corpus statute in challenging whether lethal injection is cruel and unusual punishment?

May be we are due for a new purge on FR to get rid of trolls and Bush haters whose only goal is to spread lies, distort the facts, and cause divisions.

I wonder if this is part of his faith. Certain Catholics believe life is not to be taken by men of faith, even when serving in their role according to Romans.

Not saying it's the answer, but it's a ventured guess.

[colorado tanker]

Wishful thinking by the MSM. This vote was procedural, to grant a stay until the appeal could be considered on the merits. Doesn't indicate anything about his philosophy.

[JamesP81]

Alito is catholic. He doesn't believe in killing people when it can be avoided.

I'm not catholic, but I am (mostly) against the death penalty. He's not the only conservative that ever lived to see it the way I do.

[TheDon]

Supreme Court Justice Samuel Alito....I just love saying it.
