It is no exaggeration to say that 10 years from now Americans may be living in a society with less privacy, less autonomy, less democracy (at least at the federal level) and less respect for science.

Wow. This guy is really smart to know what our life will be like in 10 years.

And that brought us Alito, a nominee who, though modest and affable, is a literal avatar of right-wing jurisprudence.

OK. Let's just give up now and say that a supreme court justice who believes in a strict interpretation of the consititution really doesn't believe in individual liberty, and the Founding Fathers were a bunch of freedom-hating right-wingers.

OK some translation required from PC to English:
'privacy' = abortion
'less autonomy' = activist judges
'less democracy' (at least at the federal level) =
fewer federal mandates
'respect for science' = stem cell/human cloning

"And that brought us Alito, a nominee who, though modest and affable, is a literal avatar of right-wing jurisprudence."

Imagine that. A Republican president elected because of his Republican ideals would seek to place a Republican minded judicial candidate. Those revelations are earth shattering. Perhaps we should convene scientific studies at our universities to study the phenomenon. I can't help but think that perhaps President Bush had an agenda in his pick. The arrogance.
