Our buddy Moon has written an impressively researched piece analyzing several of the opinions that leftist bloggers have been using in their attacks against Judge Alito this week. He concludes that many of these attacks are unfair, and that 1) in some of the more troubling cases Alito really was simply applying the law, as an appeallate judge is supposed to do and 2) there are a number of things in these opinions that liberals might actually like - for example, clear respect for certain basic freedoms. Go read this. Really. It's extremely impressive and well worth your time if you are hoping to understand this man (who might well be on our Supreme Court for decades to come) better.
