Crawford v. Taylor

Justice Alito votes against vacating [pdf] a stay of execution which the Court had previously granted.

Ellen Ratner on "The Long & the Short of It" segment of the Fox & Friends Weekend show says Alito's vote doesn't surprise her

Because I think he is going to vote sort of a Catholic ticket.

Domenico Bettinelli characterizes this as a clueless or biased liberal religious slur.

Meanwhile Mark Shea says that the same decision means

Alito may be more Catholic than conservatives bargained for.

  1. Alito was not given the time necessary to fully consider the case and the law--only about 4-6 hours.

    Consider the 8th (?) Circuit's virtually unanimous finding IN FAVOR of the criminal on this case.

    It's a life at stake. No time to cut corners.
