It was the right thing to do, and she did it. However it leaves me wondering where were the other 8? Why did she have to do it alone?

That's how are Court is supposed to work. A single Justice rules on emergency stays. The other 8 (or more likely, the conservative 4 plus a swing vote) will rule when the case is heard, and this is almost certain to get there.

Right. Each circuit is assigned one SCOTUS Justice. The 10th happened to have Sotomayor.
