The President’s selection of Third Circuit Court Judge Samuel Alito to replace retiring Supreme Court Associate Justice Sandra Day O’Connor must initiate a thoughtful and deliberate process of closely examining and scrutinizing Judge Alito’s record to determine whether he merits a seat on the highest court in the nation. What we currently know about Judge Alito raises serious questions about whether he will be steadfast in protecting our most fundamental rights. I intend to closely examine Judge Alito’s record and qualifications and carefully monitor the Judiciary Committee hearings in order to determine whether he intends to be a guardian of the rule of law who puts fairness and justice before ideology.
I hope that both the President and Judge Alito will be forthcoming during this process so that my colleagues and I can fully discharge our constitutional mandate of providing the President with meaningful 'advice and consent' on his nomination."
Oh I totally agree she is running in 2008.
