The American Bar Association has yet to grade Samuel Alito, but he's likely to receive the same high rating that he got when nominated to the 3rd Circuit in 1990.

They describe their evaluation as "a tournament" and say that Alito's score -- based on productivity, the quality of opinions and judicial independence -- was "a surprise."
