A left-fascist house organ with an ever thinning veneer of "moderation" tries to whack Judge Alito.

From Slate.com comes this pearl of wisdom. Let's see how much of it I can stand before my eyes begin to bleed. (Thanks to RealClearPolitics for the heads up.)

Alito or Scalito?
If you're a liberal, you'd prefer Scalia.
By Robert Gordon


In the great Alito-Scalito debate, everyone makes one mistake: They seem to assume that if Samuel Alito is as conservative as Antonin Scalia, that's about as conservative as a judge can be. Not so. In important ways, Samuel Alito could prove more conservative than Antonin Scalia. And the record suggests he will.

Yes, Alito shares Justice Antonin Scalia's ambivalence toward judicial activism. Both men tout their own restraint in deferring to majorities that step on individual rights (including a woman's decision whether to bear a child). (DING-DING DING-DING! - F.G.) Both men also act aggressively to override majorities that touch states' rights like sovereign immunity from lawsuits. And neither Scalia nor Alito has really explained how to reconcile the criticism of activism on one front with the embrace of activism on the other.

There you have it. One and one-half paragraphs before it becomes evident to even the most dim of the dim-witted that babykilling is always uber alles with the "in" crowd, kiddies.
