Alito strategy: I'm not disappointed
For a while I wasn't sure what to make of E.J. Dionne's latest column. He makes the good pointthat for all the conservative chest-pounding over Alito and the big confrontation we wanted, the strategy seems to be a little less bold. But Dionne quotes only a White House statement and Alito's own words in support of his theme that "conservatives" are backing off, which isn't a fair leap. Sure, the WH is playing tactical games - their job, and Alito's, is to secure confirmation. It's thematic of W's approach to shy away from confrontation, and to fall many steps short of real conservatism. That's been disappointing, but if Republicans learned anything from Robert Bork it might be precisely that confrontations with the Senate Judiciary Committee aren't worth the gamble.
