Althouse on Alito

[Ann Althouse]

When I think of White and race, I think of Los Angeles v. Lyons.

Also, White voted with the conservatives on sovereign immunity  
(except on Union Gas, which was overruled by Seminole, in part  
because of White's incoherent vote). If it weren't for White, Hans  
would have been overruled in the 80s.
