(Washington - AP) — US Senator Jim Jeffords says he will oppose the nomination of Samuel Alito to the US Supreme Court.
Jeffords says that while he believes Alito is qualified to serve on the court, he does not believe the country would be served by his judicial philosophy.
The independent senator says that he does not believe Alito fully appreciates the limits on the power of the presidency.

"I hope something really bad happens to this turncoat backstabbing @sshole." Something already has. He's turned Demonrat under the table and joined the ranks of the unhinged. Poor bastard never knew what hit him.

I am 99% certain that I read that Alexander today announced his support for Alito. The latest story on Fox News has only four undeclared GOP Senators: Snowe, Collins, Chafee, and Stevens.

Some things go without saying. A wise man once told me that if one didn't have anything to say, it would be best if one didn't say it.

Couldn't we offer Maine, Vermont, New Hampshire and Massachusetts to Canada? It wouldn't be much of a loss as far as I can see....

Goldwater said something similar to that in 1964, and, in the words of his primary rival William Scranton, Sr., he was "soundly repudiated" in November.

Hey, leave New Hampshire out of this! New Hampshire sends two conservative Republicans to the Senate (Judd Gregg and John Sununu, Jr.).

Actually, Alexander has been far more conservative in the Senate than many of us expected him to be.
