I am amazed at the sheer, let's say ummm, ignorance, regarding this Alito situation; mostly the whole executive power thing. Does anybody here realize that the majority of the contentious Alito issues about Executive power all surround application and process for the solicitor general. Does anyone know what the solicitor general does? He represents the Executive legally. Is it any wonder that Alito working/under direction of the solicitor general defends executive power? Do you not expect defense lawyers to contend points no matter how moot or stupid/in vain it may seem, it's a matter of doing the task at hand.
People try and play Alito off as some hardcore conservative because chances are he disagrees with abortion. Funny that the man has historical been a big backer of the right to privacy, including certain laws/regulations in favor of homosexuals, bet most didn't know that.
Bottom line is, you are straight up delusional if you don't think Alito is more then qualified for the job. Furthermore you should wait and see before you cast an opinion on any judge nominated to the bench, you don't always get what you expect as history has repeatedly shown us.
