Judging by all the mindless gabbing last night on TV about
Alito, the left has very little to work with. One of MSNBC's
pinheads, scrambling to find some angle, any angle, to raise
questions about Alito's suitability for the Court, asked
correspondent Pete Williams if the judge's statedÂ
"reverence" for the Supreme Court suggested that he would approach
cases too religiously. Williams could only laugh at the stupidity
of the question.
All the left can do is draw manifestly unfair inferences about
Alito's fidelity to their nebulous criterion, "constitutional
values," from his rulings. This requires turning
every one of his rulings into a referendum on his heart. If he
said that such and such a law is "constitutional,"
then he obviously supported that law. Hence we
know he is a machine gun fanatic because he didn't rule a
law involving them unconstitutional. But I notice from at
least one poll that this willfully immatureÂ
spin on his jurisprudence won't always cut in the Dems'
favor. On the much-discussed Pennsylvania abortion case, the
position they ascribe to Alito -- that spouses should be
notified if their unborn child is about to be aborted
-- receives overwhelming support from the American
people. The Democrats are anti-spousal rights! How can they
take such an extremist position?
