Mr. White "never witnessed an occasion when personal or ideological beliefs motivated a specific outcome in a case." Finally. Professor Nora Demleitner. who described herself as "a leftleaning Democrat. a member of the ACLU. a woman. and an immigrant." also had praise for Judge Alito: 152. Pt. 1 197 In the years I have known the judge. he has never decided a case based on a larger legal theory about the Constitution or conservative worldview. but instead has looked at the merits of each individual case. Judge Alito also understands that judicial opinions are more than ink in the Federal Reporter. He understands that they are decisions that affect real people and have real consequences. The judge himself put it best: [W]hen a case comes before me involving. lets say. someone who is an immigrant . . . I cant help but think of my own ancestors because it wasnt that long ago when they were in that position .... [W]hen I look at those cases. I have to say to myself. and I do say to myself. this could be your grandfather.
