Apparently Specter and Leahy are going to question Alito on his views on Presidential powers. I'm glad to hear it, but we all know that in response Alito is more likely to dodge the question with the usual bunk about not commenting on matters that might come before the court. If the Senators are really and truly concerned about the balance of power between the three branches, they'll need to do more than the usual question/non-answer dance we've seen lately. If Alito refuses to answer or says he believes things that don't jibe with his past history, they need to refuse to let him out of committee.
