Justice Alito

Get on with it, already. Samuel Alito may not have universally popular views, but such views are not required or necessarily even helpful on the Supreme Court.

For laughs, take a look at this Samuel Alito blog (clearly modeled after mine).

Having reviewed the data, the Great Carnac peers into his computer monitor and sees all:

• Liberals will wage a costly and angry battle against Alito's confirmation.
• Unless he has a Borkian skeleton in his closet, Alito nevertheless will be confirmed to replace Justice O'Connor.
• Alito will not turn out to be as conservative as conservatives hope and liberals fear.
• Someone else will leave the court within three years, and the balance of power will shift again.

Carnac the Great has never been wrong ... as far as you know.
