Justice Alito, is not only a great Jurist, he also has one hell of an ability to get Justice Kenndy to side with the Conservatives BY FAR MORE THAN NORMAL.
Justice Kennedy has been heavily influenced by Justive Alito’s easy to get along with Nature. The real reason Justice Alito has such influence on how Justice Kennedy will cast his vote, is because Sam Alito was is the only other Judge on the Supreme Court that has Trial Court Experience and Justice Anthony Kennedy is persuaded to side with his friends Justice Alito because they think alike in legal reasoning.
Justice Alito is by far, a much bigger Conservative Judicial Commodity to the Conservatives even more so than Chief Justice John G. Roberts Jr.
Also, As Justice Kennedy Heard Oral arguments in the case of “Boumediene v. Bush”, heard in December 5, 2007, Court watchers all came away with the feeling that Justice Kennedy, was going to side with the Conservatives “Half Way” in this current Guantanamo Bay Detainee Court case.
You can only Thnak Justice Alito for this. Justice Roberts is more like Scalia than Justice Alito. Only Justice Alito had showed an ability to get though to Justice Kennedy to make him rule based on sound common sense reasoning.
Which is to rule AGAINST THE TERRORISTS !
” ....he also has one hell of an ability to get Justice Kenndy to side with the Conservatives BY FAR MORE THAN NORMAL.”
Maybe he made him an offer he couldn’t refuse.
