MB,

The Democrats -- and you -- do yourselves a disservice by blindly condemning Judge Alito. No, he is not the judge that President Kerry would have nominated, but by all accounts he's a brilliant, thoughtful and conscientious jurist. I've read several of his opinions, including his opinion in the spousal consent abortion case, and what come across is a judge trying to reconcile and apply the often complicated, confused and confusing pronouncements made by the Supremes, not an ideologue bent on achieving a particular result.

For starters, take a look a the linked article.
