We Need This Man on the Supreme Court

If there were any doubts as to the conservatism is Sam Alito, check out what he wrote twenty years ago: he

first became interested in government and politics during the 1960s, the greatest influences on my views were the writings of William F. Buckley, Jr., the National Review, and Barry Goldwater's 1964 campaign.

then he goes on to say,

I believe very strongly in limited government, federalism, free enterprise, the supremacy of the elected branches of government, the need for a strong defense and effective law enforcement, and the legitimacy of a government role in protecting traditional values.

This guy's a home-run. If his views have not changed, Sam Alito will be the best new justice since Clarence Thomas. In my opinion, the US desperately needs this man.
