Via Bob Fertik at Democrats.com, Dean Lawrence R. Velvel explains how the Dems might yet defeat Alito. Interesting reading, although I think it’s too late to change course now.

I don’t agree with Velvel’s statement that the democracts showed ineptitude in questioning Alito. I was impressed by Schumers hypothetical question that if Bush’s warrantless spying was found to constitutional, then would Bush be allowed to search peoples homes without a warrant? Clearly, Alito was taken back by the question until he managed to deflect the question with his statement that he’d have to understand the ruling from which the constitutionality of Bush’s spying was derived. To my mind, Schumer scored big, at least for those who really want to listen.
