Per Fox News...
I've been thinking along those lines myself. I agree.
Here is what David Frum has written in his online diary at National Review:
President Bush has made a perfect pick for the Supreme Court in Samuel Alito. There may be a fight over this nomination, but it is a fight that will unite conservatives in support of the president and his fine choice. And in the end, it is a fight that conservatives will win. A great day.
Socialist planning types are afraid of public discourse; conservatives thrive on it.
OUTSTANDING!!!
(How Rovian...hee, hee, heeee....)
mori?
Then, really, what do they have? 50 million malcontents concentrated in big cities on the coasts.Out of a country of 300 million.
Exactly - blind trust in mortal men leads to bad results every time.
Now if we can only get the point across when it comes to big government...

Salazar voted for Roberts. Probably afraid of conservative constituents in Colorado. Other Senate liberals did the same, such as Bill Nelson of FL, who takes his cues from Kennedy and H. Klinton most of the time.
Thanks. I'm surprised. Of the neocon pundits, Frum was most likely to dissent because he is pro-abortion and Alito is pro-life. Then again, RINO Specter is making favorable comments too...a bit shocking given Specter's adoration of Roe v. Wade.
And self-destructive malcontents at that. They're shrinking every day and aborting their awfulspring.
Thank you for your public service, Sir.
I think this is more of a sign that Frum, Specter and many others really don't see Roe ever being overturned. Many judges who feel that Roe was flawed still see it as settled law.
Their take on Alito may be that even though he is pro-life, he still wouldn't overturn Roe.
You know my view does include specific moves made by God in His sovereignty. Everything (maybe not even most things) is not determined by the choices of free agents.
And thank you for your service! 8)
I don't think Frum cares a whole lot about the abortion issue. Specter does, but maybe President Bush read him the riot act. Besides, even Specter probably understands that Roe can't permanently stand. It may take a while, as they'll no doubt chip away at it first, but a ruling that blatantly unconstitutional and unscientific can't stand forever.
With disciplines such as fetal surgery blossoming, Roe can't survive forever, and neither even can the abortion mentality. Justice Alito will be a good step toward restoring sanity on this issue.
It's possible, but really, there just aren't very many conservative democrats left anymore. Zell Miller is part of a dying breed unfortunately. Most democrats just can't appeal to conservatives anymore, even in the south. The democrats have a LOT more to lose than the Republicans in this, and over the past five years, the Senate is starting to finally reflect, SLOWLY, the conservative trends of the rest of the government. House elections every two years, President every four. With Senators being every six years, and like was said before, they're hard to defeat, but the angst on the conservative side of the constant spinelessness of Senate Republicans. I think that will trend more Republican adn more conservative Republican. The RINOs really have gone too far and annoyed too many conservatives for too long, and as those 11 strong red State democrat Senators are replaced with real southern conservative Republican Senators, the RINOs will be totally irrelevant to the Republican Senate Majority who will be able to pass legislation without the RINOs, whether they vote against their own party, or obstain. Won't matter. That's what I see coming down the pike.
I agree 100%. In fact, Ruth Bader Ginsburg disagrees with Roe but is certainly pro-choice. She would certainly never vote to overturn it though.
Your scenario of an post overturned Roe world is very accurate. Abortions aren't going away even with Roe overturned. The only state that might prohibit them completely would be Utah.
I don't think that any state would restrict them to the extent of only for rape, incest or harm to the mother. There would probably be waiting periods and more hoops to jump through as you said, but that would be about it.
To be clear, I'm not advocating this sort of result but just pointing out what I think the result would be.
Who is it that we're turning power over to that were responsible for the horrible decision making process that was the Vietnam War? Most of the people who called shots back then are dead now, or out of government/military, and most of them were democrats. It was the kennedy then johnson administrations that started the war after all, and started it on a blatant lie. The Turner Joy never having been fired on by the North Vietnamese, but Johnson got on nation wide TV and claimed it was anyway, to turn it into a war big war for his Brown and Root buddies. I don't see how any of the conservatives currently leading the conservative movement can at all be blamed for the disaster that was Vietnam. I'm not sure what you mean.
