dodged the draft

Alito, 55, has served for 15 years on the 3rd U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals based in Philadelphia after being a government lawyer and U.S. attorney, and has a clear conservative paper trail on the bench.

But some people are looking at a young Alito to try to find indicators of how he'd vote on certain issues.

For example, Alito joined the Army reserves while he was a college student because his draft lottery number made it likely he would be taken for the Vietnam War, his college roommates said. DO A WEB SEARCH ON "CHICKENHAWKS" AND YOU WILL SEE THE REST OF THEM.

Well there you have it. You Vietnam Vets ought to be happy about this
