Roberts was OK, and I understand full well the theological underpinnings of Ms. Miers and trusted her to rule consistently with a high moral standard.
This guy, though, Alito, has never had a real job and knows nothing of business or capitalist endeavor.
The probability of this guy turning into another Kennedy are very high.
If Alito has a long judicial track record of being an originalist and not just a conservative leaning judicial activist then we are ok.
Conventional wisdom is that Kennedy had stellar credentials but I have to really doubt that. I have strong suspicions that he was just a judicial activist that just happened to have some conservative friendly rulings.
