The New York Times Is Really Against Alito

The New York Times starts name calling to stir up opposition in the Senate to Mr.Alito.Calling Senators "spineless" the Times says:

portraying the Alito nomination as just another volley in the culture wars vastly underestimates its significance. The judge's record strongly suggests that he is an eager lieutenant in the ranks of the conservative theorists who ignore our system of checks and balances, elevating the presidency over everything else. He has expressed little enthusiasm for restrictions on presidential power and has espoused the peculiar argument that a president's intent in signing a bill is just as important as the intent of Congress in writing it

There's many reasons one could oppose Alito,we are just amused that the Times uses such language about ripping up checks and balances.When the New York Times hires Barbara Ehrenreich don't they think that Ehrenreich's socialist agenda will take ripping up the constitution and having a "strong President"? After all isn't that the stated aim of socialists: to get rid of private property?
