Recent decisions saw Alito in the majority, voting almost in lockstep with Antonin Scalia and Clarence Thomas. Court watchers are waiting to see if any case splits the conservatives?to find out if Alito is radically or only moderately conservative.

What does “radically conservative” mean? Isn’t that a contradiction in terms?
