You’ll note that some of these links are partisan, and I apologize for that. But it’s good to see the spin that is already taking place.
My $0.02: Alito is far more dangerous than was Miers. The confirmation battle will be heated and divisive. Only time will tell.
The one thing the Dems need to do is find multiple angles of attack and scrutiny. Simply dragging out the old Roe v. Wade warhorse will not serve them well. But now is one of the best chances the Dems have to fight, given the weakness of the presidency at this point.

Amen to this. I’m approaching this from the other side of the spectrum, and think that Alito is one of the few things that W’s gotten right. But you’re completely right – Alito is finally setting the stage for a possible return to debate that’s not set simply on controlling partisan power.
