Forgot that I queued these up and then never posted. Three different people at dailyKos profiled three different aspects of Supreme Court nominee Alito, each of which argues against confirming him...
- Armando points out that his "respect for precedent" extends just as far as it supports the conclusions he wants to reach. Two specific cases and sets of opinions are dissected a bit here.
- A quote from Jack Balkin supports the impression that a major reason for this nomination had less to do with pet causes like abortion and more to do with his support for strengthening the powers of the executive. Too bad for him (but good for the country!) that his hearing coincide with increased concern about exactly such issues...
- Mcjoan looks at what an anti-choice Supreme Court could mean for the country, using the examples of already beleagured (on the reproductive rights front) South Dakota and Mississippi. Those places look like throw-backs to an earlier time...
