Smooth Second Day for Judge Alito
Supreme Court nominee Samuel Alito so far hasn't earned the outcry from opponents who are hoping to put him on the hook the way failed nominee Robert Bork was in 1987, but neither has the candidate gained the support of any senators sitting on the fence.
With no bombshells dropped through day two of the weeklong confirmation hearing, Democrats who voted against Chief Justice John Roberts in September appear equally dissatisfied with Alito, while Republicans so far seem ready to support the nominee

Alito Pleases His Republican Backers
"Supreme Court nominee Samuel Alito is carefully weaving his way through Senate confirmation hearings, saying enough to please his Republican backers while trying not to give Democratic critics any new material to use against his high court nomination."

I am suprised as to how each dissented. IOW I figured Thomas for the libertarian one, not Scalia. And Thomas and Scalia joined in a common dissent in Rasul v. Bush, 542 US 466 (2004).
Even though there are only a handful of cases (Hamdi, Hamdan, Rasul, Padilla), I still haven't wrapped my brain around the specific issues each case addressed, and which issues are left rather unsettled. I take Rasul as a narrow finding of habeas corpus jurisdiction (under 28 USC 2241) of US Article III Courts over 1) alien prisoners, 2) held at Gitmo. Scalia & Thomas (& Rhenquist) dissenting said "no, and it's up to Congress to adjust 2241." It is the Rasul case that provoked Lindsey Graham's introduction of S.AMND.2516 - modified to S.AMND.2524, on November 14, 2005.
A good number of FReepers howled in derision at Graham's audacity! LOL.

Graham can rehabilitate himself with the base by marrying Laura Ingraham

Thanks for the information. I agree Judge Alito has responded well. I got a chuckle over his "That's a way of buying 30 seconds" response. One needs a little time to figure out what Lindsey is trying to get at.

What ever reigns in their arrogance and makes them answerable to someone or one's who have authority over them.
