Alito on the Law.

[Perky]

"No person in this country, no matter how high or powerful, is above the law, and no person in this country is beneath the law," he said.

Very interesting comment given the surveillance issue in my view.


Sounds like he disagrees with *.

Its like he is baiting them to ask about the warrantless searches.

Might be an attempt to pull the debate away abortion. If he says * is wrong about his powers and FISA, it will make huge headlines.

Could be subtrefuge but pretty damn crafty if it was. President taks a bullet in order to get his nominee while ALito looks independent.

Agree?

1. Standard "I want to be a Supreme Court Justice"

speech. That's all.

2. Coming from his lips, it's just bullshit, used to placate the Senate.

If he gets to be one of the Supremes, his true colors will be apparent enough.

6. Still a pretty strong unsolicited statments

8. What I perceived.

His voice faltered when he stated that. The falter seemed to begin during, "no matter how high or powerful, is above the law," and got worse with, "beneath the law", after which he lifted a glass and drank some water.

Rewind the tapes (I didn't tape it), did I perceive the statement correctly?

9. Alito is known to lie in confirmation hearings. n/t
