In a shocking turn of events, Alito is confirmed by a strictly partisan vote...

FOXNews.com - Politics News - Alito Gets Partisan Thumbs Up From Senate Judiciary Committee

Then there's this from NRO's Bench Memo's:

"Another Sign of the Intellectual Bankruptcy of Liberal Academia"

"Geoffrey R. Stone, a professor of law at the University of Chicago, has offered his view that the Senate should not confirm Judge Alito. Here’s the critical link in his argument:

“Whatever else Judge Alito may or may not have made clear about his views on such issues as abortion, federalism, and religious freedom, he has certainly made clear that he has no interest in restraining the acts of this commander-in-chief.”

Unfortunately, Stone does not see fit to offer a single piece of evidence in support of this contention. All he offers is his naked assertion.

Has Stone actually examined Alito’s record? Might he even deign to try to put together something resembling an argument on this point?"

To be surprised that the clueless, surrender at all costs, cut and run left has a genuine argument against anything, is in itself a sign of misunderstanding both their motives and core values. Socialists value the concept of utopia. It is their religion. And as with all matters of faith, needs nothing more than the strong belief that one's reasoning is correct because they have faith that it is. Now, I'm not saying that smart folks, or most smart folks don't understand that liberals must fight anything that encourages the fall of Shangri-La. Everyone needs to rant, and the presumption is that the good people over at NRO wish to vent a certain amount of their frustration, hence the plethora of question marks.
