In almost none of these cases, though, does Alito seem like a little-guy champion. He seems like a judge who dutifully follows the law. When the law instructs him to find for the criminal defendant or the plaintiff, he does so.
The absolute gall!
It makes you wonder if any of these liberals have ever heard of the concept of justice being blind.
Thanks, I just read that article by Slate: it actually made me feel better about Alito (some of the glowing reviews by a few liberals have me wondering).
I like how the writer explains that if Alito had ruled in favor of minorities or criminals "most of the time" he wouldn't have conservative credentials. Which seems to me a statement that it doesn't matter what the facts of a case are, just the number of minorities and criminals he ruled against. I would personally still consider a judge conservative if they mostly ruled in favor of minorities and criminals...IF in each and every case the judge relied soley on the FACTS of the case which bore out their side.
The writer believes a conservative is essentially a bigot.
