Am listening to the Alito hearings for the second day.
1) The disappointment - Alito maintains that he would respect settled law, meaning that he would let stand Roe v. Wade. My position is that the Federal government should not regulate abortion one way or the other, per the 10th Amendment. On this, I am disappointed.
2) The pleasing - Alito said no president or court is above the law — even in time of war, strongly hinting that he would rule against Bush and the NSA on the issue of spying on Americans.
3) The other - Unlike Judge Roberts, who evaded questions in order to be confirmed, Alito is very outspoken and has testified with candor. I did like Roberts, and was happy he was confirmed, but I like Alito much more. This jjudge is going to support the Consitution of the United States of America. Of that, I have no doubt.
