"Harry Reid hates him"


And I read that Reid was arrogant to the point, he said Alito was not one of the names HE had given to the President.

Now .. that is the height of something or other - Reid is mad because Bush didn't choose Reid's selections .. these people are in LA LA LAND.

Oh, you get to speak but she has to shut up?

The first lady has no business commenting on public policy. It was inappropriate when Hillary did it and it is when Laura does it to. Would shareholders really think that the CEO's wife should be setting policy?

The first lady is in a unique situation where her words have political consequences to her husband's base. If she wants to be act like a private citizen and act like an activist then she can give up her perks and really be just like everyone else.

Rush just said Lindsey Graham told the gang of 14 not to mess with this pick. Expect to see more RINOs get with the program...hehehe.

All this (the past) is water under the brige. We should ALL focus of getting this guy in the SC and then we all WIN, ritht? :)

Agreed :) I think it's worth noting, though, the valuable role that "right-wing" anger played in all this. Without it...

Whether WE like it or not, if Specter nixes a judicial nominee, that person WILL be defeated.

McLame, Chaffee, Warner, Collins and Snowe WILL join him.

The conservative pressure this time may be too much for these mushy guys after they weigh the pros and cons. There weak spines bend in two ways.

Why would the fight over JRB be any worse?

Alito has been confirmed by the Senate twice, unamimously.

JRB was filbustered for two years.

I don't think voters pay as much attention to Supreme Court nominees as some people think.

I agree but the last thing Corzine wants is for voters to see him on TV bashing an Italian American from New Jersey. He'll keep his mouth shut and just say nice things until after the election.

LOL! We like the lady in the kitchen, is that it?

The first lady has every right to speak. Sorry, Charlie. What crosses the line is when she's put IN CHARGE of policy like Hillary was.

I applaud Laura every time she speaks out in support of the War on Terror. If you think she doesn't have that right, you have a problem with women.

I'm not predicting he would. But with Bush's spinal infusion, Scalia would see several like-minded justices on the court (Roberts, Alito, Thomas, and his own replacement). He's in his late 60s, and his "battle has been won." Why risk having to step down during a Democratic presidency?

Of course, he could stick around and enjoy the fruits of his labors, too.

I could also see Kennedy stepping down. He's too liberal for our liking, but I'm sure he's not so liberal as to want a Democrat to replace him. He did concurr with the 5-person authoritative decision in Bush v. Gore. He's certainly physically up to the task, but he is several years past Social Security retirement age.

If Kennedy stpped down, and was replaced by a solid conservative, it would also do much to dispirit Ginsberg and Stevens who seem to fighting for dear life to survive until a Democrat comes along, so they can preserve Roe.

The only one of last term's judges who was not several years past retirement age was Clarence Thomas.

It's up to us to get Alito confirmed. If the President's first term taught us anything, it was that he won't fight that fight by himself.

You must have more votes in the Senate than I do Senator. Get friggin real.

No matter how you slice it, Specter is the biggie.

If he opposes Alito, he's toast.

Yep. I think it's going to be hard for the Democrats to stop this pick, since Specter seems to be on board.

That's good news. Kudos to Rush for his role in all this. This confirmation drama will be gone and forgotten in a few months, but we'll live with the justice for decades.

Snail Mail Is the best way get your congress persons to set up and take notice. So what you do is write a letter (can be computer written) sign it then FAX it to the congress persons and then mail it. Also go in person to the local office and present a copy of the letter.
