On his final day as a federal appeals judge, Samuel A. Alito Jr. issued an opinion that favored a female postal worker claiming sexual discrimination, and another that upheld a warrantless airport search that uncovered illegal drugs. Those 3rd U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals rulings and a third one authored by Alito had been in the works for months but were released just Tuesday, the day Alito was confirmed by the Senate and sworn in as a justice of the Supreme Court. In the Pennsylvania postal worker case, Alito wrote the opinion for a three-member panel that reversed a lower court and ordered a trial on claims of sexual discrimination and retaliation raised by Anna Jansen.

My apologies for the typo. Title should read "strode". Could you modify? Thank you!

An ideal judge is not an ideologue. An ideal judge reads the law, interprets the law and decides in accordance with the written law. Personal opinion should not enter into the equation.

Bush said he chose Alito because he fit the above description. The Democrats got all upset and told everyone that Alito was a scary far-right wacko.

Turns out Bush told the truth, and the Dems lied. Yawn.

Don't you mean he chipotle both sides?

"An ideal judge is not an ideologue. An ideal judge reads the law, interprets the law and decides in accordance with the written law. Personal opinion should not enter into the equation."

Exactly right. Alito appears to be a very judicious judge to me.

Maybe it should have been "stewed"?........

This is why Alito is the DEMs worst nightmare. He is a real and righteous Judge devoted to the rule of law and justice. Under severe stress during the hearings, he has shown the DEMs on the Senate for what they are: Under achieving, hypersensitive, incompetent, buffoons. Kennedy's McCarthy like behavior will be the undoing of all of them.

What seems to me is that with Alito, sometimes we will see a result that we don't like. However, this will mean that the problem is not necessarily Alito, but with the legislation, unlike the cases where we have judges (predominantly liberal) who substitute their judgement for the law.

[Disambiguator]

It's a typo. It should read "stuned".

OH, Now I seee..............
