Conservatives should NEVER be afraid over a judiciary battle. EVERY POLL taken the past few years has shown that a HUGE majority of the American people belive the court is too liberal and activist and wants it to be more conservative. Liberal polls show that even when they try to rig them. The clear large majority of the American people want conservative Judges on the courts and the SC JUST LIKE ALITO! So this is the battle we need to constantly hope for becuase it is a battle that conservatives will win EVERY time. liberals can't even get 1 of 10 moderates on their side with this, and what's left of their moderate/conservative democrats defect to our side too, and the libs know it. 8) With the addition of Alito, the aclu's life just got MUCH harder and less pleasant. Cases that would have been decided for them now with o'conner, just became MUCH more problematic with Alito in her seat. If I were at the ACLU main office right now, I would think that a collective resounding "Oh S^)&" is still echoing through the halls. 8)
If only Stevens would retire and we could appoint Brown to fill the vacancy!
I can't wait for Kennedy, Reid, Schumer et. al. try to explain how Alito is such an extremist for concluding that the then-Democrat Governor of Pennsylvania, Bob Casey, did not violate the Constitution by signing the Penn. Abortion Control Act into law.
