Judge Samuel Alito

Have you been frustrated, listening to the confirmation hearings?  What would Judge Samuel Alito really be like as a Supreme Court Justice?  His reserved demeanor and body language provide only the faintest clues.  Read his 5,000 legal opinions or - for more fun - join me as I read his face and aura for integrity and other vital qualities.

BUSH'S FAVORITE FACE

Face Reading Secrets® is my system for deconstructing physical data.  It's my update of the 3,000-year-old art of physiognomy.  (See my FAQ on Face Reading here.) 

President Bush favors four facial attributes in his Supreme Court Candidates.  In case you didn't think of Roberts, Miers, and Alito as triplets who were separated at birth, read on.  Even better, check out the photos at these links:

Wide jaws, especially on the right side of the face.  (Remember, when you are looking at a photo, the right and left sides are reversed, unlike seeing your own reflection in the mirror.  It helps me to pretend I'm shaking hands with the person in the image.)  Wide jaws go with a talent for loyalty. The potential challenge is stubbornness. The right side of the face carries information about personal style with work. 

Straight chin bottom relates to making decisions based on principle.  The potential challenge is idecisions based on ideology, inflexible thinking. 

No eyelid thickness (with a double eyelid).  Physically, this means that if Alito were going to put on blue eyeshadow, why bother?  Nobody would see it unless he blinked.  The related talent?  Intimacy style has tight boundaries, so a person like Alito can work very independently.  Potential challenge?  Not making a deep connection to other people and not minding it, either. 

Fake smile. A real (Duchenne) smile has lips part, cheeks rise, eyes crinkle.  Alito's version of a fake smile is especially ominous.  He shows tooth bottoms only and pushes forward an uncommonly large amount of jaw.  Meaning?  There's only the slightest pretense of opening up to other people.  Prevailing matters more than getting along with people.

Yes, the "Compassionate Conservative" president really prefers judges who have strong beliefs, little intimacy, zero social drive to authentically connect with other people, and are staunchly loyalty.  (Keep in mind, for every one of these four attributes, there is a variation in that same category which IS about having a talent for some form of compassion.)

TRANSFORMATION INTO A JUDICIAL WARRIOR

People don't have character attributes because of genetics.  Instead, the inner person shapes the physical face, depending on choices and values.  My favorite way to use face reading is to use comparison photos to see how faces evolve.  (Yes, this kind of evolution, even happens in Kansas!) 

Here's the comparison link for Alito, from his student days at Princeton.

Alito's face hasn't changed much over the past 34 years, and you'll soon read something similar about his aura.  But his face shows two extremely significant changes.

His chin bottom shape has boogied from a curve to the aforementioned straight line.  Plus Alito has developed an unusual variation on what I call the "Macho Knob."  Note the raised mound of muscle at his chin.  Usually when people have it, the shape is circular, like a doorknob. Alito's is more like a Macho Box.

The meaning is immense pride in his beliefs, resistance to change, and anger if confronted.  If Alito's your man, these qualities make him a better fighter.  If you don't believe in what Alito fights for, you're out of luck.

Second, note the shift to Alito's cheeks.  In his student days, his forehead was wider, and the cheeks had no prominence.  Now (like the current cheeks of Justice Roberts) Alito's cheeks are huge and so muscular, it's as though they worked out at the gym on their own miniature bench press. 

Meaning?  For 3,000 years, physiognomists have equated such cheeks with massive power potential, the extraordinary ability to muster support from others.

AN ENERGY FIELD TO AURI-FY LIBERALS

Below I'll summarize what certain aura databanks were like for Alito back in 1972, then how he's doing currently.  Auras are the energy field around anyone alive.  They're easy to read from regular photos, once you've developed your gifts.  (For more information, read my FAQ on Aura Reading here.)

Chakra Databank: Physical Presence

Before: Bookish, cerebral, shy, not an imposing presence.

Now: More confident, otherwise similar. Will not take a strong leadership role.  Still, his vote on the Court will count!

Chakra Databank: Creativity

Before: Implementer, even a plodder.

Now: Stronger and more adept.  Yet his creativity still involves implementation, not origination.

Chakra Databank: Power

Before: Enormous confidence in his own abilities.  Biggest chakra projection (along with intelligence) is at Alito's solar plexus chakra.

Now: Power has grown even bigger.  It supports his passions, beliefs.  Note that Alito is not into power for the sake of self-aggrandizement but for the sake of his ideals.

Chakra Databank: Emotions

Before: Lukewarm emotions; he's detached.  Ideas are more real to Alito than people.

Now: He has developed a lot emotionally, feels emotions now more strongly and connects more to significant others, though in a highly analytical way.  Alito reminds me here of someone who has had a huge amount of psychotherapy, except his detachment is coming from a disposition to be highly analytical about everything in life, feelings included. 

Chakra Databank: Truthfulness in communication

Before: Blunt.  Economical speech.  A little arrogant during this time in his life.

Now: Not a liar, in his own opinion.  Doesn't tell untruths.  But he feels completely comfortable with assembling logical arguments to impress anyone, supporting any point of view.  Conveniently, he isn't very involved in life's emotions, so there is no personal weight to one view over another.  His throat chakra suggests that Alito only comes straight out with his personal views when with old friends, family.

Chakra Databank: Spiritual life

Before:  Set in his belief system.  Doesn't depend on it much.  The main thing going on this chakra is his learning how to handle being so brilliant and cerebral.

Now: Very big part of the Judge's life now, his spiritual life--it's second only to the projection at his solar plexus chakra.  Most interestingly, Alito gets more emotional about religious life than anything in his heart chakra--his spiritual path is the real love of his life.

INTEGRITY?  DEFINE THAT, PLEASE

In a curious way, Alito is a man of integrity.  That's what I conclude from reading him with deeper perception.  He can summon up an argument for every occasion.  Anyone who laughed at Clinton's lawyerly definition of "sex" once upon a time should, by the same logic, have a hilarious time with Alito's promise to "have an open mind." 

If you're a Fundamentalist, Alito's confirmation will signal a happy day for you, perhaps comparable to Reagan's "Morning in America."  It's not just a matter of having one of your own on the court.  Alito will be perfect in the role of stealth zealot. 

For the rest of America, combining Alito with Roberts on the court is, frankly, dangerous.  Having read them both, I'd say they are good men, brilliant and articulate... with very strong beliefs.  Roberts has both integrity and a somewhat open mind; Alito has situational integrity and a mind that is, to an almost frightening degree, closed.  Alito will be delighted to play concertmaster in Roberts'  orchestra.  And, unlike Roberts, Alito lacks scruples about what most people would consider truthfulness.  Separation of church and state being protected by the Supreme Court?  With Alito our swing voter, alas, Americans outside the Religious "Right" won't have a prayer.
