Given that it is, in context, clearly a set of examples of the
previous phrase, "help advance legal positions in which I personally
believe very strongly," I think you're working *very* hard to prove
that the straightforward reading of Alito's words is a liberal smear.

In fact, if your interpretation is the one that Alito intended, then I
think his lack of writing skill should disqualify him from the Supreme
Court.
