Good afternoon, Your Honor, Sir.

I think Samuel Alito is the closest POTUS could find to you! :)

[AgThorn]

Not sure why the link for this thread is showing up in red as:
Reid: Apologize! Fire Rove! Do not appoint Alito! Bush: Up yours, pal!

What gives? This wording could be read two ways, i.e. it initially reads as if someone has 'hacked' freepers ...

[Walkingfeather]

I know from the inside that we have a quote from kennedy and specter saying good things about him.

[SeaBiscuit]

Good stuff, I guessed right for a change ..now comes the rat battle.

[jsh3180]

Ahhhhh....here's a quote from a lefty blog mentioning Freepers. Looks like they are plenty PO'd

Enjoy: from www.bigbrassblog.com

The Chimp bowed down at the altar of Dobson, Bauer, Schlafly, and the rest of the AmTaliban to save his "base" of the wild-eyed Freeper set, nominating Samuel Alito. I'd someone will ask an obvious question -- how on earth did Harriet Miers rate ahead of Sammy when the Chimperor was looking down the short list? We know the answer, but I want to see the White House explain that one away.

[Bush gal in LA]

I'm so happy today. This is wonderful! RATS are on suicide watch and this is an outstanding pick..........And yes, I was wrong I thought the president would pick......Scooter Libby!!!..........(just kidding)......

[exdem2000]

I am so Proud of President Bush. He made such an excellent choice, that will not only benefit our Country today but for future generations.

Thank You President Bush

[Clintonfatigued]

Wow, Bush really showed courage in this nomination. I didn't think he'd do it. But there's no doubt that Alito is eminently qualified and, based on what's known about him, is deserving of confirmation.

As for questions about his views, he's entitled to the same courtesy and leeway that Ruth Ginsburg and Stephen Breyer received.

[publiusF27]

Alito looks pretty good to me!

Was United States v. Lopez, --- U.S. ----, 115 S.Ct. 1624, 131 L.Ed.2d 626 (1995), a constitutional freak? Or did it signify that the Commerce Clause still imposes some meaningful limits on congressional power?

...

In other words, the majority argues in effect that the private, purely intrastate possession of machine guns has a substantial effect on the interstate machine gun market. This theory, if accepted, would go far toward converting Congress's authority to regulate interstate commerce into "a plenary police power." Lopez, --- U.S. at ----, 115 S.Ct. at 1633. If there is any sort of interstate market for a commodity--and I think that it is safe to assume that there is some sort of interstate market for practically everything--then the purely intrastate possession of that item will have an effect on that market, and outlawing private possession of the item will presumably have a substantial effect. Consequently, the majority's theory leads to the conclusion that Congress may ban the purely intrastate possession of just about anything.

...

The activity that the Lopez Court found was not "economic" or "connected with a commercial transaction" was a type of intrastate firearm possession, i.e., the possession of a firearm (including a machine gun) within a school zone. At issue here is another type of purely intrastate firearm possession, i.e., the purely intrastate possession of a machine gun. If the former must be regarded as non-economic and non-commercial, why isn't the same true of the latter? Is possession of a machine gun inherently more "economic" or more "commercial" than possession of other firearms? [Footnote 4] Is the possession of a firearm within a school zone somehow less "economic" and "commercial" than possession elsewhere--say, on one's own property? [Footnote 5] If there are distinctions of constitutional dimension here, they are too subtle for me to grasp.

[isthisnickcool]

Bush: See, I told you. We push Miers, they have a fit, we move her out and you are in dude!

[claudiustg]

I support the President's appointee wholeheartedly!

[ConorMacNessa]

Finally! Now I hope he backs him up to the max!

[Tench_Coxe]

Excellent. I for one, would support this nominee.

[Big Guy and Rusty 99]

If you hold your nose and go over to the DU, you'd think the sky is falling. What part of overturning roe v. wade would bring it back to the state level don't the dems understand? I guess the right to crush baby skulls and suck out their brains is in the fine print of the enumerated powers. They call us nazis but then, they defend their own holocaust. They are 'open minded' yet they make anti-Italian remarks like calling Alito 'Mussilito'. They seem to forget that the Italian and German faschists were socialist. Now war has been declared against the left. Crush them without mercy. no more nice nice. It is obvious by their behavior that we can't all get along (but then they said I was a time bomb.)

[indcons]

A great choice by Pres. Bush.
