BTW, what's wrong with Alito and Roberts? These two appointments are among the few good things (I can count them on my fingers) Bush has done.
Just so you know I'm not a nutty leftist, the other things Bush did that I consider positive were his capital gains and dividend tax cuts, the partial birth abortion ban, the patriot act, and the war in Afghanistan, though I'm not wholly satisfied with that.
I did. Had some issues with it but not as much as I have with Alito and Roberts. I thought that choice was better than some he could have made. I do not want judges that assume all issues fall under the review of the federal judiciary, even if it is strictly a state issue. Alito and Roberts have both shown their propensity to do just that.
the partial birth abortion ban
None of his business, state issue that should be resolved within the respective legislatures
the patriot act
protection of the country aside the patriot act gives to much unnecessary power to the federal government and assumes (yet again) issues at the federal level which are basically state issues. I see the definite concern of that power falling into less unscrupulous hands.
and the war in Afghanistan, though I'm not wholly satisfied with that.
As with the action in Iraq, I believe Bush is doing what he can. I don't agree with the action in Iraq, but Afghanistan should have been leveled. That nation attacked us and therefore fit the definition of just war more closely than other actions.
