Alito update

Since the conservatives are so fond of rolling out the baseball analogy (Hatch said, "We do not evaluate an umpire’s performance based on which team won the game but on how that umpire applied the rules inning after inning."), it's rather telling that virtually all of Alito's rulings favor the same team. Even Scalia occasionally is persuaded by the arguments of the other side. But Alito is a machine man. filibuster.

Update: ok, usually I'm enough of a haiku purist to cringe at these little doggeral bits, but the Alito hearings in haiku (opening day edition) is pretty cute. Concise, at least, for the transcript-averse among us.

Update 2: BagNewsNotes offers some visuals from yesterday, noting the predominance of red in all the scenes -- making sure those "red-state voters" know which side Alito is rooting for?
