ALITO

I'm listening to some of the Alito hearings on C-SPAN radio. He is coming across to me as being more forthright than some expected, and is basically saying in response to questions on judicial activism that the Court:

- should play its role and not try to play roles that are not assigned to it.

- should decide the case that is before it and not go outside that to address society's ills.

- should interpret laws and statutes as written, without adding to them or subtracting from them.

- should not make policy nor try to engineer certain results.

That's all this conservative wants from a Supreme Court justice.
