Alito's Judicial Record Defies Stereotyping? Oh Really?

WaPo makes the assertion that potential (let's face it, a foregone conclusion he'll be shoved down our throats) Supreme Sam Alito's judicial record defies stereotyping. But I don't think that's true at all.

His record keeps getting massaged, sure, but any good look shows he's happy to hand off civil liberties for the White House and NSA to trash, and wants Roe vs Wade undone. How is that against stereotype?

The White House won't allow a judge to go up to the Supremes who would fight for civil liberties or for checks and balances on unbridled power by the prez and VP. In other words, the Supreme the Bushies want cannot be a Supreme concerned with the people of the US, just in concentrating power in a few hands with no recourse for the people.
