Good morning....just wondering..did you happen to see the piece in yesterday's NY Times editorial section about Luttig's opinion upholding, to some extent, the idea of a "super" stare decisis?...Could be what doomed his chances..worth reading.
Didn't see it but heard that he had referred to Roe as 'super-precedent.' No such statement in Alito's record!
I had done some preliminary searching on the internet and found out about that. It made me wonder why so many conservatives (including myself) had been praising Luttig as if he was the top choice. (I had even voted for him in the FreeRepublic poll.) Of course, there are many, many other issues than abortion. It's possible Luttig was solid on every single other issue. And it's also possible Alito may have some weaknesses we don't know about yet. However, I like what I see so far!
