I think that is more because Pat wasn't very clear in explaining exactly who was involved in the decision. I think he just told them the JSA as a whole chose to kill Bruce Gordon. Based on their discussion in the car on the way to the brownstone it seemed obvious to me that Courtney thought Pat was one of those who voted for killing. I suspect that is because Pat feels guilty over doing nothing to stop the killing, which is obviously why Eclipso was able to torment him over blood on his hands when he really has none.
