See Alito not deliver a knee-jerk response to execute a black murderer.
See the Freepers go apeshit.
What I love about this is that conservatives spent Alito’s entire nomination process trying to convince liberals that he wasn’t a knee-jerk conservative, that he was reasonable and prudent. Now that he actually acts that way, conservatives feel betrayed. And let’s be realistic about this decision—he stayed an execution so a condemned man’s argument about the death penalty could be considered. That’s not exactly a radical leftist position. But the bloodthirsty wingnuts are disappointed that their man has granted a few more days to a guy whose petition will likely fail anyway, simply to ensure his legal options are well and truly exhausted before his life is taken. Nice.
