The Manchurian...Judge?
Apparently Sam Alito was coached on how to answer questions for these nominee hearings. But if he was coached by those with a particular mindset, say those who support the President's warrentless wiretapping methods, there is a problem.
If true, it means Alito (regardless of how he personally feels) was coached to support something that could become a future Supreme Court case (the President himself has already welcomed any Congressional investigation). This is, at the very least, a conflict of interest. It also raises the question of whether Alito is an independent thinker or merely a judicial funnel for the Bush Administration's policies and politics.
