He's Looking A Lot Like Activist Judge

Looks like Alito is just the kind Activist the W, Rove and Co needs when they are looking to break the law - particularly when trying to stack the courts with people who like 'em:
Supreme Court nominee Samuel Alito defended the right of government officials to order domestic wiretaps when he worked for the Reagan Justice Department, documents released Friday show.

He advocated a step by step approach to strengthening the hand of officials in a 1984 memo to the solicitor general. The strategy is similar to the one that Alito espoused for rolling back abortion rights at the margins.

Yeah, he's just another damn vacant shell the neocons can fill up with whatever they want.
