But Senate Minority Leader Harry Reid (D-Nev.) warned that a nomination of Alito, or any other candidates too far to the right, could run into trouble.
"This is not one of the names I've suggested to the president," Reid said yesterday of Alito on CNN's "Late Edition."
"In fact, I've done the opposite," he said. "I think it would create a lot of problems."

Definitely not. I think Reid Suggested William Jefferson Clinton and Susan Estrich as two very fine potential nominees.
Oh, I'm lovin' this. If just one more justice would retire before '08.....but, if not, President Rice and Vice President Allen will get to pick the next SCOTUS nominee.

What a bottom-feeding, Dashole-clone. I feel good about this nomination. Screw Harry. If he and his cohorts don't like Alito, jam him down their throats until they're forced to shut up and cower in the corners, repeating: "Our power is gone! Our power is gone!!" and weeping like the little girls they are (no slight on little girls).
And I'm glad Bush picked someone with balls (literally). Enough of this Supreme-Court-by-quota crap. Next time we need your input, Laura, we'll elect YOU President. If these morons had their way, only a black person could replace Justice Thomas, an Italian put up there when Scalia retires, a witch when Ruth bites the dust, etc, etc. It's a position of non-thinking.
Nor do I have any respect for that other class of deluded simpletons, like Cokie Roberts, who whined yesterday about "airy fairy" nominees who didn't have "real world experience". Right, Cokie. I'm all for my garbage man deciding complicated issues of constitutional law. Great idea.
That said, Bush seems to have avoided all of these pitfalls this time around - so, good for him! It's gonna be fun watching the RATS sputter and rant: "He...he... he was ACTUALLY IN SUPPORT of a Father being told his unborn son or daughter was going to be sucked into a vacuum cleaner! Wahhhhhhh....."
