A quick check on Wikipedia, which everyone with the Internet has access to, reveals that the Missouri Supreme Court is split 3-3 between Democratic and Republican appointees. Until the recent retirement of a judge, it had been 4-3 Democratic.

Apparently, only the Missouri Supreme Court can set execution dates, not the Governor.
Indeed, the legislature does appear to be overwhelmingly Republican and the Governor is a strongly pro-DP Democrat. You should write to your local legislators and find out what in tarnation's going on.
