Samuel A. Alito, Jr.

Some people are already making comments that Alito is a bad choice. Those people are a hand full of the usual suspects. My bet is Alito gets about the same treatment Roberts got. He seems to be of the highest ethics and has TONS of written opinions.
I am surprised. I was expecting a woman.
However, I should have realized that by pandering to the gender issue only, Bush got burned in a big way, which was exactly what he was trying NOT to do. I guess Bush figured that if he’s gonna get a fight no matter what, he may as well use that fight to solidify those "fer em" instead of trying to win support from those "agin em". I think he picked a bad time to realize those agin em, will always be agin em.
Keep those fer ya very close. Keep those again ya even closer. But that doesn’t mean you have to pander to them. This time Bush went for substance over gender. The difference in reactions couldn’t be any more obvious.
