Alito Bandito Confirmation Edition

Now that its too late to do anything about it, you might want to take a look at  how Alito's votes on the U.S. Court of Appeals measure against other Republican appointees and Democratic appointees.  The Washington Post has a very valuable chart.  In a nutshell, Republican and Democratic appointees have very different voting records.  For example, in prisoner rights cases, Republican appointees went against the prisoner 79% of the time.  Democrat appointees went for the prisoner 64% of the time.  Alito's record was against the prisoner 71% of the time.  He is in fact a pretty typical Republican appointee.
