I was just warned to beware of those who claim that Alito is not conservative enough, as being possible/probable trolls.

(btw, sign-on date is not a factor).

You think I'm a troll baiting reply by saying I'm not conservative enough? Geez.... Why would anyone waste time doing something like that?

I have serious concerns about Alito that have not been made clear, especially after the Specter/Alito meeting two days ago.

Have you seen the latest Drudge Report claiming that Alito went with the pro-choice side in 3 out of 4 decisions?

I'm really not as concerned about the SCOTUS upcoming decisions regarding abortion as I am about future decisions regarding gay marriage, conscription of private property for public use, and the subtle inclusion of European legal precedents in US Constitutional decisions. I think that Alito would stay away from European laws and treaties and am hopeful about the right to own property, but I'm not convinced that Alito wouldn't use the privacy argument from the Liberty Clause to overturn the will of many states regarding gay marriage.
