Alito on guns?
Speaking of burying the lede, saw this at Patterico on Alito:
Murphy said he and Alito agree that the 1973 landmark abortion-rights case Roe v. Wade was wrongly decided.
“He is much more an Anti-federalist where state and national authority clash, more libertarian on issues such as gun control, and much tighter on some matters as the rights of the criminally accused than I,” Murphy said in an earlier email message.
I’d consider that a good thing.
Update: Considering this, the Gun Owners of America endorsement and the fact that the Brady Campaign feels the need to lie about Alito, I’m moving away from being neutral on the Alito nomination and more toward supporting it. Not entirely convinced yet, but closer.

They apparently changed the part about the Roe v. Wade comment…it was wrong. I hope they weren’t wrong or misleading about the libertarian comment though.

[…] The claims that he’s libertarian on guns and his GOA endorsement are good things. […]
