re: #26 Patricia Kayden

“Justice Sonia Sotomayor, who along with two other liberal justices dissented, wrote: “Having failed to kill Smith on its first attempt, Alabama has selected him as its ‘guinea pig’ to test a method of execution never attempted before. The world is watching.”

The majority justices did not issue any statements.”

So the rightwing Catholic justices are anti-abortion but not anti-death penalty. 🤔

Given the Catholic Church’s long and storied history of killing in the name of God, this is unsurprising.
