I love this man already. Very natural and very personal!

He just needs to do what Roberts did.

Imus should be on AirAmerica. He is becoming more gratuitously anti-Bush every week. He was even farther out than Jonathan Alter in hammering Bush this morning.

[Mo1]

So .. how long do you think it will take the Loony Left to go after Alito's kids??

[DarkSavant]

As a Catholic, let me just say this. Now that there are five Catholics on the court (or will be) we can implement our Master Plan. {Diabolical laughing}

HAHAHA! The fools!

I think I just hear Chuckie fall over!

I should like to ask George Bush what he saw in Miers that he didn't see in Alito. This guy seems triple qualified from what I have read so far. Miers was a nobody. Just confirms the charges of crony ism directed at the president

How so? There is "crony-ism" and then there is choosing someone sure to be trusted that's what Ms. Miers was. Alito seems an excellent choice.

They're probably going after them right now at DU.

Like Roberts, he just spoke without notes. I think a new bar has been set.

[nicmarlo]

Music to my ears....now if he'd just pass out.....indefinitely. : )

[alnick]

Very nice ceremony. I think now's the time for us to pray for this nomination to be confirmed. :-)

Beautiful family.

Yeah, his daughter is cute.

Well, Justice Rehnquist WAS almost carried out. Ginsburg made noises about her health BEFORE the elections, so it wouldn't come as a total shock to me, although I agree she will try to hang on until another Dem presidency.

I dunno. I just have a feeling that there is some other change afoot at SCOTUS. Maybe not RBG, but some change. If Stevens steps down or vacates a seat, it would still be a great opportunity for President Bush to appoint JRB, AND would break the "quota" idea as well.

[Miss Marple]

There is no mystery. When you try to placate the RINOS, you get a stealth candidate like Miers. Since that didn't work, President Bush is going with someone who is very up front with his philosophy and has a paper trail. The RINOS will now have no cover.

[TheForceOfOne]

The Senate, a spineless Senate the president couldn't rely on. The Dem's will go after this pick like its Armageddon and the weak kneed Republican Senators better be ready and willing to fight.

"Just when I think you can't do anything more stupid you do this.... and totally redeem yourself!!!"

Much to the Dems disappointment.
