Good luck. McCain is a beltway guy. He has totally and completely deluded himself into thinking he only needs the support of the MSM to win the presidency. That is why, when he fails to secure the Republican nomination, you will see him run as an independent.

Works for me.

We're getting the media back but still don't see how we'll get public education back. Thinking home/private schooling is the only answer for as many children as possible.

Who knows how it works. But, in order to invoke the constitutional option, the Republicans will need 50 votes. That means out of the gang of 7, they need 2. I know Graham has learned his lesson, but I have to wonder whether the others have. We shall see, but my bet is that McCain will cave faster than he can run to a microphone.

DeWine is up for reelection next year and I hear that it's RINO hunting season in Ohio. I think DeWine will be on board. There are the two.

Agreed.

Does anyone else think it a bit stupid that the hysterical author of this PFAW piece claims that a person who has spent his whole professional life defending and interpreting the Constitution exactly as it was intended is planning to 'take away people's Constitutional Rights'????

I love it when a solid, righteous man gets the girly-men and the butchy-gals of the left in such a fluster that they show themselves to be such illogical, ignorant buffoons.

Alito is a leader of the radical right legal movement to prevent the federal government from enforcing civil rights protections and otherwise acting on behalf of the common good

How can they spout this trash with a straight face?

Will Presidential hopefuls Hillary and Kerry filibuster Supreme Court candidates?????? Do they really want to put that tool in the GOP arsenal if they are President.

President Bush put the demands of his far-right political base above Americans’ constitutional rights and legal protections by nominating federal appeals court Judge Samuel Alito to replace retiring Supreme Court Justice Sandra Day O’Connor, said People For the American Way President Ralph G. Neas. “Right-wing leaders vetoed Miers because she failed their ideological litmus test. With Judge Alito, President Bush has obediently picked a nominee who passes that test with flying colors.”

Interesting hypocritical take there... lol

It's time to defeat the Left once and for all--and to drop all those sociopaths and morons into the oubliette of history where they belong.

I know DeWine is up for reelection, but I have the feeling he believes the way to win in Ohio is by being a RINO. We have Graham, hopefully Frist and the Administration are lining someone else up.

I would like Neas to explain how a Constitutional Originalist is a threat to Constitutional rights.

I don't Ralph Neas. Ralph Neas is no friend of mine.

To answer your question. Liberals like Ralph Neas believe the Constitution is a living document. Pushing the amendment process aside, Neas and his ilk are ready to alter the Constitution at the drop of a dime.

A thought I wanted to share of perhaps a slightly different way to view the effects of the Alito nomination and the confirmation battle that now looms.

An old business consultant acquaintance of mine used to always say something to the effect that..."Often, the most effective way to solve a particular vexing problem, is to somehow force those tasked with solutions to it to first begin, before even attempting to envision or discuss various potential solutions, by defining and differentiating the elements (causes) of a problem into logical constituent parts."

I found if followed this approach often produces a sort of magic when it comes to solving problems...even though it is much easier said than done as everyone wants to talk about the solution first, which is where efforts first gravitate unless forced to not go there. To not first talk about solutions is sort of like having to learn to ride a bicycle backwards. It can be done but it does not occur naturally.

Anyway, her catch phrase for this approach was to "First differentiate before you attempt to re-integrate." The re-integrate step was of course evaluating and deciding on different possible solutions, once you had all the causes (elemental parts to solutions) on the table and logically organized.

In my opinion the confirmation fight that will now ensue from the Alito nomination should serve to cause this very same (and effective) differentiation step to occur first, in the overall effort to solve the vexing problem of activist judges.

The more it is a rip roaring confirmation fight dominated by arguments over the role of our constitution and the constitutionally limited and defined role of the judiciary, the more effective it will cause everyone and every group to publically show their colors and in effect differentiate themselves into their logical constituent (political) elements for the general electorate to view as they begin to ponder the way they may want to vote come next November, i.e., a significant step in any solution.

Seems to me the more we in our own individual ways keep our confirmation rhetoric focused on the central point of the proper constitutional role of judges, and cast all specific issue concerns so as to underscore that central constitutional argument, I think we win hands down. Not only with respect to this nomination but the election next November as well.

I don't approve of FR's consensus to over-reach, but I will say that I'm getting mightily tired of the minority pouring the phrase "the American people" into their text over and over again.

Someone needs to inform them that the majority speaks for the American people and they aren't it.

The Right has been preparing for this battle for decades

and you mention Ginsburg in the same post ?

The Right has been asleep at the switch for the last few decades and only awakened enought to lumber into action in the past few years.

Once this battle gets rolling and the left shows their true colors, alot of their supporters will question their own reality.
