re: Assuming Alito is confirmed, we will likely see a showdown and the right of the president to what ever he damn well pleases will be upheld. And that will be the final tool needed.

Where the hell are the "traditional" conservatives (non-neo) and the nut case far right militia types on this??? This stuff is their bread and butter!

I've always felt Alito would be confirmed, barring some total gaffe on his part. I'm not happy, but we'll have to see what he does on the court. So many SC justices have drifted to the "left" position of supporting citizens over government once on the court, that I have hope Alito will too. Some of the testimony today seemed to indicate that he can be persuaded.
