OK, so I haven't analyzed his record yet. But, what's wrong with Alito? I've been listening to him testify before the senate on my way to and from work, and I was frankly surprised at what he's been saying.
He's answering questions with full sentences and explanations of his reasoning.
He seems somewhat moderate - not a fundamentalist nutjob, and he actually has experience at Constitutional law. How come Bush nominated him?
Every other Bush appointee that I've seen has been an incompetent crony with no real experience in the field they're working in. How did Alito get by his screeners? Has he signed a loyalty oath yet, or is that only if you want to go to the conventions?
From what he's said about his decisions on various cases (and I've only heard about two hours total from his testimony, so it's quite possible I missed something) he seems to know what he's talking about and making good decisions.
He's quite a bit more conservative than I am, but not nearly the neo-con I would expect from a Bush nominee. So - what's up? I mean, Bush nominated him, so it's hard to believe he's not an evil fuckwad, but, really, is he?
