Anti-Alito push fails to sway U.S.

Despite a major coordinated campaign, liberal interest groups have failed to convince the American public that the Senate should reject Supreme Court nominee Samuel A. Alito Jr.
    Every major poll indicates that far more voters think Judge Alito should be confirmed than think he should be rejected. Though that support generally is lower than it was for John G. Roberts Jr. before his confirmation for chief justice in the fall, it is on par with the public support for Supreme Court nominees during the past 20 years.
    "Since the nomination of Samuel Alito, left-wing groups have lashed out at him through a number of avenues in an attempt to derail his nomination," conservative activists Sean Rushton and Joseph Cella said in a memo to supporters. "The left's campaign has involved television, radio, print and Internet campaigns, public statements, the issuing of reports, and a van-based road tour. In all these media, the left failed to generate any substantive opposition to Judge Alito."

The Left won't stop. Get Alito confirmed as soon as possible.

Dittohead, Snow Flake, and Bushbot, so what of it?

Many people are getting tired of the daily rhetoric from the left in this country.

Their personal destruction techniques are getting old.

These polls were all taken before they trot out some young lady or man saying that Judge Alito propositioned them. Waiting for some shoe to drop. The left know that everything hangs in the balance on these court picks and with Alito we are replacing a soft moderate (O'Conner) with a decidedly more conservative one. There will be shoes that will drop over the next 2 months.

John Batchelor last night asked which matter the Judiciary Committee will take up first, the Alito confirmation or the witch hunt into the President's authority re the NSA "domestic spying scandal." I think we'll see a full court press by the Dims and the media this week and this weekend on Specter, trying to get the Alito hearings delayed again. Besides giving them yet more time to find something to smear Alito with (doubtful at this stage, given they've had two months and have come upo with zip), they can attack the President and try to drag his numbers down again, thus weakening Alito. It's all they have.

'He turned me into a newt!'

'well... it got better!'

So they're dusting off Anita Hill right now...BTW where has she been lately? She should have went to prison.

Dems better think carefully about this. Bush will probably be picking a 3rd nominee and probably to replace Ginsburg who is not looking or sounding healthy. They can pick their fight now against a conservative replacing O'Conner (or Rhenquist depending on how you see it) OR they save it for later for a true ideological shift. But as libs, they are unable to understand the principle of 'DeLayed gratification'...and they'll probably blow it all on this pick.

They always overreach.
