What is so surprising about this vote?  The reasonable thing to do would be to preserve the status quo until at the very least he could become familiar with the case.

Can someone explain me to why this ruling is so important?  Is it a step in ending executions and the death penalty altogether?
It might theoretically be (because if the death penalty is unconstitutional in this case it'll be hard to find a case where it's not) but in all likelihood it isn't, obviously.

The main reason why I would really think it isn't is to go and look back at Alito's career in death penalty cases while on the 3rd Circuit.  Just fyi.
