Sure, just as soon as you point me to the part of the Constitution where the Founders overruled every morality-related law that was in existance. No more blue laws, etc. It's in there, right?
The thing about the armed forces was a quip. Lighten up.
I'm sorry to tell you this, but your "Alito isn't a real conservative" routine has the same tone as when a radical leftist I know tells me that Clinton was the best Republican President ever. The bottom line is that if a judge follows the Roberts Big Guy-Little Guy Rule, he is doing his job, even if that means he sides with the government.
It's not in there anymore than legislating morality is in there. Why? Because that was the business of the separate and sovereign states, not 537 do gooders in Washington. The very issue of the blue laws was a state issue but ended up in federal courts. Alito and Roberts will continue the unintended power of taking on state laws that are none of their concern. Except now the decision will hopefully be what 'we' want right? And that condones the same injustice against the Constitution how again?

Not when 'doing his job' is expansion of the national government further than the Framers intended it's not. Alito, just as Roberts, is a big government 'conservative'. Thomas OTOH is more of a limited government conservative as intended by the Framers. The supposed right and the left can sit and divine all sorts of rights, powers, and an enumeration of about anything else they want out of the Constitution. And that's exactly what Alito, Roberts, and unfortunately sometimes Scalia will do. But that's what Republicans want.
