Alito confirmation

Anyone think the Alito nom is a shoe-in? SpyGate opinions may arise:

As a lawyer in the Reagan Justice Department, Alito said the attorney general must be free to take steps to protect the country from threats such as terrorism and espionage without fear of personal liability. But in a 1984 memo involving a case that dated to the Nixon administration, Alito also cautioned his superiors that the time may not be right to make that argument and urged a more incremental approach.

Yeah, I want Gonzales to have blanket immunity for anything he thinks is necessary to do. **Snort**
