And whether the GOP will use the Democrat filibuster on national center stage to publicly destroy that party once and for all.

They (Scalia and Alito) will have to make a race to the right, but I think it will be by a nose, if at all. …

Wow, to hear this is a real pick-me-up on a Monday morning!

So he is a strict constructionist in every since of the word? I know President Bush is looking for a conservative jurist, so he fits the bill in terms of someone who will interpret the Constitution literally

Thank you, Katie.

KATIE COURIC: So he is a strict constructionist in every since of the word? I know President Bush is looking for a conservative jurist, so he fits the bill in terms of someone who will interpret the Constitution literally and may disagree with the right to privacy, which is the foundation of Roe v. Wade?

So, Katie admits that the right to privacy isn't in the Constitution. Well, that's progress of a sort, I guess.

The question is whether they can weather this storm that will be coming, I think, and whether there will be a filibuster.



Hey lefties, oddballs and other assorted liberal nut-job's?

Don't sing it, BRING IT.

Significantly, the left is relying less and less on the threat of the loss of "abortion rights" to scare people - it's the "right to privacy" supposedly at stake.

Sounds good. The same conservatives who opposed Miers had better get ready to fight like hell for Alito.

No one is more conservative than my favorite Justice, Clarence Thomas.

We need Alito, and two more like him.

the top choice for particularly pro-life people. . . . likely narrowing Roe and possibly voting to overturn Roe. . . . a strict constructionist. . . . a conservative jurist . . . someone who will interpret the Constitution literally. . . .

Last week Chicago wins the World Series, now this.

Life is good.

Good choice. We need to assume a filibuster. The real question is are there 51 votes (including Cheney) to invoke the constitutional option? I'm betting yes.

COURIC: So it could be said that Mr Alito wont make up law from the bench? Hmm... It should be stated that Mr Alito wont be uniting the country then...(aka. Not a flaming liberal judge)"

And ideology trumped gender in this case, right?

Maybe qualfifcations trumped it as well, Katie.

This notion that there are not seats on the court 'reserved' for certain types of people is false and dangerous.

Would Katie agree that 'Thomas's' seat was reserved for another black conservative when he goes? I think not.

JRB would have been easier to get through, though I pray Alito is confirmed.
