Eugene Volokh offers a great analysis of the opinions written by Samuel Alito as a Judge on the Third Circuit Court of Appeals.

What do we see here in Judge Alito? Not an O'Connor, Scalia or Rehnquist; rather, a judge with his own mix of conservatism, libertarianism and egalitarianism, a cautious jurist who seems likely to move the court toward a slightly more claimant-friendly view of free speech and religious freedom--and a slightly more government-friendly view of the Establishment Clause.

In other words, he will be a justice whose jurisprudence on First Amendment issues would be very close to my own views -- and, I believe, much closer to that of the Founders. Be sure to read this important article.
