Laurence Tribe is like that soap opera lady who always gets mentioned but never gets the award for best TV actress. He must have some serious skeletons.

No, just a serious lack of opportunites for nomination. Since 1968 (nearly 40 years), there have only been two Justices appointed by Democrats, and both of those were done under Clinton.

It's this little statistic that brought out the passion of those opposed to Miers. Republicans have an obviously bad record with stealth nominees and personal "trust me's". Alito is an awesome pick.

Any yet, we barely have a balance towards strict constructionists on the court today. Can you imagine how liberal the court would be if Dems had more opportunities to select justices?

Since 1968, there have only been two Democrats elected president. Daily they prove why. Furthermore, both of those Dimoleftists led to eight year Republican presidencies. (One was 12, if you count Bush 41)
