In fulfillment of a key campaign pledge, President Bush has successfully nominated two originalist, strict-constructionist justices to the Supreme Court.

The DOSE salutes the NEW SC Associate Judge, Samuel Alito.

Walking today on the White House grounds.....

We're happy too, Justice Alito!

"Hey Mom, I DID it!!"

Oh my Ohio...I got to the last photo and lost it! Thank you Justice Alito for your strength of character. Thank you President Bush...for everything!

I was more or less out of the news loop for most of the day, able only to catch a glimpse here and there of the momentous happenings (taped the SOTU though, knew Mrs. King died, and Alito was sworn in).

When I saw the camera settle on Justice Alito before the SOTU, and saw him standing there in his official USSC Justice robe, I was overcome with emotion. I got choked up and teary. I know this man is going to do us GOOD, and felt a profound sense of relief, and thanksgiving to God and to all who prayed this man past the Senate obstructionists. The tide has turned in America and we are headed back to our roots, a respect for life, a culture of life, and letting God sit on His throne as Chief Judge, Lawgiver, and King. Of course, not all will bow to that, but we as a nation are headed back to it.

To God be the glory; great things He has done.
