It's not hard to guess which side he would have come down on, and therefore, not hard to imagine him blessing an even more naked right wing power grab in the future.

Sandra Day, who Alito would be replacing, was one of the deciding votes in favor of Shrub, so that decision would still have been 5-4 in Shrub's favor.
