Was Alito implying that Congress can restrict the President's inherent constitutional authority?

No. Only that SCOTUS has been known to be involved in a case that judged the extent of inherent authority - not just as to the President either, also as to Congress. "Steel Siezure," Milligan, Merryman and a small handful of others are in the mix.

Frustrated senators Leahy and Kennedy

"U.S. Senate Judiciary Chairman Arlen Specter said on Thursday an overnight search of records found no mention of Alito in a controversial Ivy League alumni group."

I have a question, America. Are several of these Senators the best we can do? How about it, California? Massachusetts? Illinois? Delaware? New York? Vermont? Wisconsin?

No just the best from California? Massachusetts? Illinois? Delaware? New York? Vermont? Wisconsin? :^)

Grassley is getting riled up. He doesn't do that often.

Fred's a Republican. His bio on WMAL: Fred Grandy.

He refers to himself as a "recovering Congressman".

Al ain't got room to talk: he uses an aerosol spray adhesive to keep his wig on.

Ted: Mr. Alito, have you ever killed anyone?

Alito: Heaven's no Senator!

Ted: What, you think you're better than me!

Thanks, It didn't make sense that he would tip his hand here.

IMHO, "Steel Seizure" is distinguishable from the NSA situation.
