Re: Justice Samuel Alito

You seem to have forgotten that Bush's first choice was his center-left White House Counsel, Harriet Miers.

It took an outside-the-beltway grassroots Conservative rebellion, led by Rush Limbaugh and Michele Malkin, to put Samuel Alito on the Supreme Court.

Actually, it took a failure of Miers to get through the Senate interviews.

A lot of people took credit for that, but she just didn't do well.

And Alito was nominated by President Bush very quickly afterward, and, in case you've forgotten, is now on the Supreme Court.

I haven't forgotten anything. Roberts and Alito are on the SC because of President Bush.
