Subject: RE: BS: Alito brings real balance
Judge Alito's support for a more powerful executive branch is also troubling. In the past, he has endorsed the controversial theory of the 'unitary executive,' which would give the President broad powers not subject to control by Congress.

Like I said... he's no conservative. He's a big government guy who wants to further centralize government by increasing the powers of the executive branch. These are not conservative principles.

And I bet he won't have any problem whatever with the idea of taking people's property away for the benefit of commercial interests (unless it's the property of his rich and powerful cronies and benefactors).
