La Shawn Barber’s CornerNew Justice Alito: "“He said first of all it was different then,” she said. “He said, ‘I was an advocate seeking a job, it was a political job and that was 1985. I’m now a judge, I’ve been on the circuit court for 15 years and it’s very different. I’m not an advocate, I don’t give heed to my personal views, what I do is interpret the law.’” (Source)"

LaShawn doesn't know why he backtracked.
But he didn't; nor did he say HOW he would interpret the law. He, correctly, said what he does.
