Alito breaks tie, Kan. death penalty stays:

New Supreme Court Justice Samuel Alito broke a tie Monday in a ruling that affirmed a state death penalty law and also revealed the court's deep divisions over capital punishment.

Justices split 5-4 in the term's oldest case, which was argued in December before Justice Sandra Day O'Connor's retirement. A new argument session was held in April so that Alito could break a deadlock.

Aren't you glad that this nation has a "pro-life" President who can nominate "pro-life" judges to the Supreme Court?

I sure am glad.
