Well, for me, the most glaring of the many problems with Alito is
his opinion on the "unitary executive". Our system of government
has functioned as effectively as it has in its journey to becoming
the world's oldest functioning democracy in large part because of
its intricate system of checks and balances, a system that Alito
clearly doesnt believe in. And I remind you that, assuming we ever
have another real election in this country, the unitary executive
powers that Alito has championed will someday reside in a
democratic president. So President Clark will be able to use the
NSA to monitor your church--will be able to use the IRS to shut
down David Dobson and the mega churches, will be able to arrest
those he suspects of being or assisting domestic terrorists, like Rev
Phelps or Ann Coulter, without benefit of trial... President Clark
may decide that you, because of your support for right wing
causes, are a danger to the republic, and have you shipped off to
Guantanamo. And if there is never a legitimate election in this
country again... Well, Alito will have helped destroy this country in
that way. And I'll be seeing you across the barricades.
