Alito: extremist! Eek.

Judge Alito is also tarred as an extremist because, in the words of the New York Times, "he has a radically narrow view of Congress' power." Their proof? "He argued that Congress exceeded its authority when it passed a law banning machine guns." Translation: He had the audacity to rule that the Constitution means what it says in giving Congress the power to regulate interstate, not intrastate, commerce. Liberals, who want to confiscate our guns, call Judge Alito "extreme" for treading on their "right" to trample the Second Amendment and expand the Commerce Clause beyond recognition.

"Unacceptably mainstream?" By David Limbaugh, Washington Times, 1/26/06 (emphasis added).
