Brett Kavanaugh pivots as Supreme Court allows one execution, stops another
(Jabin Botsford | The Washington Post) Justice Brett Kavanaugh concurred Thursday with the Supreme Court's liberal justices that a Buddhist man's execution should be stopped because he was not allowed a spiritual adviser by his side, but last month he was on the other side when the court allowed the execution of a Muslim inmate in Alabama under similar circumstances. It's difficult to say with certainty why the Supreme Court on Thursday night stopped the execution of a Buddhist inmate in Texas because he was not allowed a spiritual adviser by his side, when last month it approved the execution of a Muslim inmate in Alabama under the almost exact circumstances.
