Why Alito Should Not Be Confirmed

Or, I suppose more accurately the post should be titled: Why Alito Should Be Very Closely Questioned About Issues Related to Executive Branch Legal and Constitutional Limits of Power During War, Non-War, and Peace; And If He Answers The Questions Incorrectly (I.E., In A Manner That Gives the Executive Branch Unwarranted - And Unconstitutional - Powers) Why He Should Be Rejected.

However, the actual post title is simpler, so I went with it.

Go read Balkinization. With all the discussions of NSA wiretapping, NSA cookies, CIA Programs (from today's Washington Post; well worth a read), and executive branch powers, Alito's nomination hearings should be interesting.
