Alito on Bush's Spy Plan

<>In response to a question from Leahy, Alito said "no person in this country is above the law." And immediately qualified that with the following, that some issues related to executive powers fall into "a twilight zone." When Leahy asked Alito if Bush broke the law with that domestic spy plan, he didn't answer yes or no, but did predict the future, saying that the issue was"very likely to result in litigation in the federal courts."

Oh yeah, and of course, he can't answer yes or no on any case that might end up in federal courts. The great out for all nominees.
