Alito won't always be a rubber stamp for the executive branch |
|
I'm sure that once there is a Democratic president, Alito will rediscover the importance of limits on exective branch authority.

2. I've only read a few of Alito's legal opinions and I thought he was for |
|
"states rights". I don't know whether that will be an obstacle for the neocon agenda but judges can be bought if the offer is high enough.

4. you make the mistake of thinking those opinion were heartfelt |
|
he'll say what the masters want him to say, and rule the way they want him to rule. That's why he's getting the job.

5. Alito is for the right of state to limit abortion and to fire a teacher |
|
for writing something unflattering about her school.

8. There will never be a Dem president again. |
|
Martial law will prevent democracy from allowing that. We are stuck with a totalitarian regime for a very, very long time.
