Alito will be more conservative than O'Connor. So, hopefully, there will be a 5-4 conservative edge on most issues. While O'Connor has been on the court, it has gone 5-4 the wrong way on many issues.
I'm really hoping that President Bush will get the chance to appoint at least one more justice before his term ends. Because there is no guarantee at this point how long this window to appoint conservative justices will remain open.
I hope GWB gets a chance to appease the left with an "affirmative action" candidate...and call it just that!!!..Janice Rogers Brown...a black female that is well qualified...*G*...Surely the left would never fight affirmative action would they??
