New Supreme Court Justice Samuel Alito split with the court's conservative Wednesday night, refusing to let Missouri execute a death-row inmate contesting lethal injection.
Alito, handling his first case, sided with inmate Michael Taylor, who had won a stay from an appeals court earlier in the evening. Chief Justice John Roberts and Justices Antonin Scalia and Clarence Thomas supported lifting the stay, but Alito joined the remaining five members in turning down Missouri's last-minute request to allow a midnight execution.

Maybe that will shut up Kennedy et al. So much for a partison, extemist jurist.

Pretend I spelled partisan and extremist correctly in that post. ;)

Intelligent, deliberate and disciplined, Justice Alito would surely be casting his legacy piece by piece. His Triple AAA rating versus the excesSenators (he actually seems like a Jurist!) qualifies him to build; this case was made to order for establishing his Right-to-Life credentials. The soul of the Rightest anti-abortionist could nod approvingly at the need to examine How we kill people. Unless your kin.
Down the road, he's just being consistent.
Or he's a champion of personal freedoms who's been lying in wait to spring forth and rescue the people from tyranny....
Is that an ad?
I think it's an Ad!

They're calling him SouterLito here!!

It's clear to me that Alito wants to hear the case so that he can shoot down the ridiculous concept that death by injection is cruel and unusual once and for all.

"It's clear to me that Alito wants to hear the case so that he can shoot down the ridiculous concept that death by injection is cruel and unusual once and for all."
Well, that might make him a conservative, but it wouldn't make him a right to lifer.

What a class act! Ted Kennedy should apologize to the Senate and the American people for his inexcusable behavior -- we all know that won't happen. Arrogance personified! IMHO Moey

Sorry, I meant that Judge Alito is a class act; that wasn't too clear. Moey
