4. Alito was for stoning.

Clarance was for the less humane method of tying the criminal to a pole, pouring honey over him and letting ants pick his skin. This method would be more towards the cruel end but would save Alabama burial expenses since all organic material except bones would be gone,

Gorsuch was for bringing back the guillotine as being the most expedient and therefore, less cruel. Also, it would save money for the Republican states. Ya build one instrument and you can Fed Ex it to where and when it is needed. You sharpen the blade every 6 executions. So whichever state holds the 6th execution, they gotta pay someone to take it apart, sharpen the blade and put it back together again.

Since none of those options were available in the majority opinion, that's why the three offered no dissent.
