IT'S "SCALITO"!
Numerous news agencies are reporting that President Bush will nominate Judge Samuel Alito to replace Justice Sandra Day O'Connor. The official announcement will happen at 8 AM today. If true, this is the perfect pick for those of us who want a knock-down, drag-out fight with the Democrats. His nickname, as alluded to in my headline, is "Scalito", referring to Justice Antonin Scalia.
His resume looks good and, from what little I have read about him, he has the experience, intellect and other qualifications that Ms. Miers didn't have. As long as there are no personal issues involved we will get a chance to see what kind of judge is considered an "extremist" by Harry Reid, Chuck Schumer and Ted Kennedy. We will then get to see if Byrd, Snowe, McCain, et. al., agree with that assessment (the "Gang of Fourteen"). Either we will see a filibuster, followed by the "nuclear option", or we will see the RINOs exposed, or we will see Justice Alito. For movement conservatives, it's a win-win-win situation.

Hey, I'm not in your movement at all and the difference, for me, between Meirs and Alito, even between Roberts and Alito, couldn't be starker.
More than a dozen years on the federal bench. Participted in more than 1,000 decisions, wrote hundreds.
I read a couple dissents of Alitos. I bet I won't like the Casey decision when I read it, but his other dissents seem to be more than reasonable.
Two years on the bench does not a Chief Justice make.
I think Bush will go down as the worst President ever, or at least in the bottom five. But Alito? Not so bad.
A couple other things Bush did right? Barred racist-merc-connected-coup-participant Mark Thatcher (son of Margerat) from entering this country.
Something to do with Yellowstone.
That's about it.
