Yeah, but you already predicted that the next pick after Meirs would be a liberal. We said that it would be a conservative. You are now bitter about that fact, and hoping Alito goes down so that you can say you were right in your blind support of Meirs. The worst case scenario here is that we wind up with moderate after the game plays out. You were for a moderate on day one.
No, I'm thrilled with Alito. I just hope I can be as thrilled with the Congress during and after the hearings.
IMHO, Bush appointed Miers because he thought he couldn't get Alito through. Right or wrong, we'll find out.
As I said before, I hope I'm proven wrong about our Republican representatives. But after watching the Estrada mess and the Bolton mess (I know UN, not SCOTUS), but it doesn't give me a lot of faith in our so called "Republican" Congress.
