Newly seated Justice Sonia Sotomayor has cast her first recorded vote on the Supreme Court, joining a dissent by three liberal justices to stop a pending execution in Ohio.
The full court turned down the last-minute appeal from lawyers for Jason Getsy late Monday evening by a 5-4 vote.
Getsy, 33 and a convicted hit man, is scheduled to die by lethal injection at 8 a.m. Pacific time today.

Hitmen have a right to life....babies do not.
To: BraveMan; Revolting cat!
Maybe the Left will spin this to say she is PRO-gun because she’s defending a professional hit man.

You always hope she may be a surprise on some things and not be as liberal as expected, but this doesn’t bode well.

Hitmen have a right to life but not their victims apparently.
His “civil rights” are being jeopardized and never mind what he did to his victims.

The Defendant was probably a Latino—just a guess.

What you wanna bet she paid no mind to the facts of the case or justice for the victims and made up her mind from the get-go to vote for this stay of execution?
Activism from the bench.
