Justice Alito Hires Experienced Conservative Clerks

Justice Alito has chosen older clerks who can help him "hit the ground running" to finish out the current Supreme Court term.

The clerks' resumes include clerking for Justices Thomas and Rehnquist and assisting John Ashcroft.

This quote by liberal law professor Erwin Chemerinsky should warm the hearts of conservatives: "I think what's notable is that he's picked individuals who are so defined on the right ideologically. That tells us who Samuel Alito is."

And this is a bad thing, Erwin? :) :)
