Teasing Michael

Sorry, Michael:  I don't know why Justice Alito voted as he did, and don't know the correct interpretation of his vote!  (My guess:  He didn't think he'd had enough time with the case to justify overturning the lower-court's stay.)  But, I'm pretty confident I know some wrongs ones (e.g., that the vote reflects some meaningful space between Alito and the other "conservative" Justices on the role of the Supreme Court in reviewing death-penalty cases).  Error is easier to find than truth, maybe?  =-)

UPDATE:  Here are some thoughts from my friends at Prawfsblawg.
