The American Spectator

Democrats don't even bother to talk about the Constitution as a text anymore. They speak of "constitutional values." Every comment they've made so far about Alito sounds like criticism of a political candidiate not a judge. Since they can't find any inflammatory rhetoric in his record, they have to work doubly hard to twist his rulings into a statement on his "values." The fiend doesn't even support the Family Medical Leave act! But this comically convoluted propaganda won't work with the general public. Ordinary Americans understand that the job of a judge is to uphold the law, not update it. Alito's careful jurisprudence will look very reassuring next to the hysterical rhetorical lunges -- "Stop Anti-Choice Alito" -- of the left.Â
