"Finally, a word about Mr. Bush: He deserves credit for quickly putting the Miers defeat behind him and returning to his campaign promise to nominate conservatives even at the risk of a political fight. If liberal Democrats want a battle over judicial philosophy, so be it. This is a rumble worth having."

Yeah, but he's weak on mobsters... </sarc>

Anyone else wonder if that whole Miers thing wasn't "laying smoke" for what may turn into the mother of all battles with the 'Rats...as well as a flanking maneuver on the right-wingers to make sure they're with the program???

No.

Misunderestimated again?Could be. But then again, maybe I'm wrong...Karl Rove has been too distracted lately to pull it off... :)

Good thinking! Could be. I was thinking the same thing this morning when I decided to go over to the dark side(DU) to see what they were saying.,,,,,Yeeks!!! They were saying the VERY same thing .....that this whole thing was a'' vast right wing conspiracy'' from the very beginning. Aided and created by no other than ''the architect ''Karl Rove''. No kidding !They are saying, that the Bush administration KNEW this indictment was coming down on Friday and stuck Harriet in there to essentially create a cover or diversion for the REAL nominee who was Alito all along and also to divert attention from the indictment.......Thats when I logged off. When I start thinking like those guys I know I'm starting to lose it big time! Scary!

I do not need to know every credential Judge Alito has to know he would be a great Justice. The fact that Chuck Schumer hates him is enough for me.
To: Bush gal in LA
Its amazing how much credit for being intelligent the Bush administration gets from the Left when it is conspiracy minded intelligence.
According to the Moonbats over at DU, the Bush administration is the smartest, most devious bunch of incompetent idiots ever to run the WH !
To: Keith in Iowa
No. Miers did real damage to everyone involved. No brilliant master plan there...

Aside from the Planned Parenthood and Christian crèche rulings, Alito has found in one case that the constitution does not require states to enact family and medical leave legislation. That tells me more about him than any amount of nicknaming or cheerleading. I think we have a winner here.
Hopefully, he has no skeletons and Frist can keep McCain and his toadies in check. But as with Clarence Thomas, even in the face of low tactics by liberals, Alito seems destined for the high court.

My husband who is a very smart man, believes the Miers mess was a designed play. I am beginning to think so as well.

I hope the Surrendering Senate Seven realize THIS is the battle worthy of using the Constitutional Option.

The GOP controls both Houses of Congress, the Presidency, and most appointments to the Supreme Court have been made by GOP Presidents. In addition, most state legislatures and Governorships are GOP as well.
Conservatives will never have a better opportunity to get a truly conservative member of the SCotUS than right here, right now. I'm ecstatic about the possibility of finally getting another actual, bonafide conservative on the court.
It's also an opportunity for the GOP to walk the talk on conservatism, something that's long past due.
What I think conservatives often forget is that getting conservatives elected to political office only gives you the OPPORTUNITY to try to institute your policies. It doesn't guarantee that they will actually be instituted.
