Wouldn't it be great to hear a Supreme Court decision and be happy about it?!

If you are from Tennessee, you should know that you cannot count on Bill Frist for anything, except a great operation and recovery if you need heart surgery!!!!!!!!

Better find out what Frum thinks. He has a veto, too, you know.

If he did, that would be a good thing.

In the case of the Miers nomination, a Frum veto would have saved us from a Justice who voted to the left of O'Connor.

As it was, no Frum veto was needed; the White House caught its mistake, in time.

Samuel A. Alito Jr. (born April 1, 1950) is a judge on the United States Court of Appeals for the Third Circuit. His ideological likeness to United States Supreme Court Associate Justice Antonin Scalia has earned him the nickname "Scalito."

Now were talking

Hey T, if dems got socks instead of a bike (let's hope) for their holiday... what would you call the gift W gave them today? A death rattle?

Morning! My brain is still on snooze. I just found this on NRO. Let's see how Casey reacts.


Re: Alito & Abortion
[Robert P. George 10/31 08:03 AM]

Kathryn, The spousal notification provision that Sam Alito voted to uphold was championed by then Pennsylvania Governor, Robert P. Casey — -a Democrat. (He was the "Casey" in "Planned Parenthood v. Casey.") Governor Casey believed that a husband is entitled to know if his child is going to be aborted. One may agree or disagree with this as a policy matter, but it is hardly an "extreme" idea. Indeed, I would be very surprised if the idea were rejected (much less condemned as "extreme") by Governor Casey's son, Robert P. Casey, Jr., who is running for the United States Senate against Rick Santorum. Someone should ask him. Like his late father, Casey is running as a strongly pro-life Democrat. If the senior Casey was fit to be Governor, and if the younger Casey is fit to serve in the United States Senate, then Alito's position on spousal notification (which, as you pointed out, is not even an endorsement of the policy but only a judgment regarding its constitutionality) scarcely renders him unfit to serve on the Court.

One thing is for sure... the Rino's have to decide if they want Ted Kennedy mad at them or if they want Frum, Coulter, Hannity, Rush, and everybody else that lives in a red state mad at them.

Agree, but I do think that Ruth Buzzi Ginsgerg and Stevens both will have serious thoughts of retirement now. I think Bush gets two more picks in the next three years. Then Kennedy will look like a fool to dissent.

Actually, exploding heads over there leave almost no residue.

A fine little insult is inspired:

"Gee, his head looks awful--nothing but skin and bone."

I hope he gets shoved so far up Chuck Shumer's rear end that every time Chuckie boy brushes his teeth, Alito winks at him from the back of his throat!

I cannot believe people in here care that he is Catholic.

Me either. I am completely flabbergasted. And this coming from a Southern Baptist. I dont' care WHAT they are as long as they conservatively interpret the constitution, don't use foreign laws to make rulings here, and don't try to legislate from the bench. Egads!

I agree. Moreover, it's great that Bush went on the attack one weekend after the Libby crap. JUST after Reid said, "why don't we postpone this until next year?" Love it. In your face, you pencil-necked little dweeb.
