Bush: Judge Samuel Alito is new choice for Supreme Court nominee

Yeah, but what's SCOUTUS?

[Allen H]

That was a bad bet for him to make. Hope you get your $10. Alito is sure no moderate. 8)

[Mister Baredog]

ROTFLMAO, thanks Dave, I needed that!!

[Hoodat]

Re: That's pretty insulting to Alito, isn't it?

Hey, I've only got two thumbs.

[RepublicMan4U]

Couldn't agree with you more. Maybe true conservatives still have a shot in the GOP?

[Allen H]

I wonder if the Canadian immigration website is going to get flooded with requests again. Libs always threaten to leave when something doesn't go their way, but then they always stay! What does a conservative have to do to get them to ACTULLY LEAVE the country??? 8)

[Wolfstar]

It's an issue for you? You let those people think for you? So sad.

Ummmmm...Petronski, something got lost in the translation somewhere along the line.

I said all along you pick the best qualified person regardless of gender. Before Gingsberg we had one woman on the SCOTUS -- unfortunately we still have Gingsberg. If the Senate hadn't stalled Owens and Brown for so long, one of them probably would have been the pick but they are too knew to the Federal Court system. One of those for Gingsberg or one of the others would work.

The arguement all along should have been the most qualified "person" for the Court. I am tired of the quota system -- never has worked and promotes people who should not be promoted.

Your comments seem to infer you don't like this pick. Why?

I wanted her to go to the Senate, never dreamt she'd withdraw. But her hearings were going to be an embarrassing disaster.

I'm starting understand that better now and you're right. I've had my eyes opened and grown a bit thicker skin in the past few weeks.

Princeton, Yale, from NJ, US Attorney from NJ. Nope he is hopeless a southern right winged radical. Will not do for the northern yankee leftists.

[Ole Okie]

He did fight hard for Thomas...whatever the reason.

Whatever the reason, we owe Thomas to Specter and Orrin Hatch. They fought like tigers for him.

[Wolfstar]

I thought the only one around here who used the pretentious adverb "uber"...

What would you suggest I use, oh enlightened one?

"FREEP THIS POLL: MSNBC Live Vote: Do you support President Bush's nomination of Judge Samuel Alito to the Supreme Court? http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/9876118/"

Awesome. I think the media will be silently thinking to themselves "Uhoh. The parties over. Conservatives are united and p.o.'d and looking forward to '06. Dangit! When DeLay is proven innocent of the bogus charge against him, we're REALLY screwed!" heh heh heh. 8)

[SierraWasp]

Ha Ha Ha!!!

[PhiKapMom]

Then what I heard was right about Specter that he had Alito high on his list? I thought it was too bizarre to be true. I am so glad they are friends!

[Wolfstar]

...but it seems me that the posters who were hysterical about the Miers nomination seem to be more reserved in victory. Maybe because the hysterical right hasn't won anything in such a long time.

I admit it. You've got me stumped.

[RetiredArmy]

Let the war begin . . .

Sorry to inform you but the war began a long, long, long, (repeat long several thousand times here), long time ago. This is just another battle in that war with the left/communist/socialist/abortionists/democrats/homosexuals/anti-military/anti-religion/anti-freedom/pro-tax/pro-everything wrong with the world.

[steveegg]

Now that's the kind of pick I was hoping for after Roberts was overwhelmingly confirmed.
