This time, the President has made a choice which will unite the conservative base.
In some circles, Judge Samuel Alito, of the Third US Circuit Court of Appeals, is known as “Scalito” for his philosophy which mirrors that of Associate Justice Antonin Scalia. And at 55 years of age, he will, like Chief Justice John Roberts, have the potential to be on the Supreme Court for a long, long time:
Judicial conservatives praise Alito’s 15 years on the Philadelphia-based court, a tenure that gives him more appellate experience than almost any previous Supreme Court nominee. They say his record shows a commitment to a strict interpretation of the Constitution, ensuring that the separation of powers and checks and balances are respected and enforced. They also contend that Alito has been a powerful voice for the First Amendment’s guarantees of free speech and the free exercise of religion.
Liberal groups, on the other hand, note Alito’s moniker and say his nomination raises troubling concerns, especially when it comes to his record on civil rights and reproductive rights. Alito is a frequent dissenter on the 3rd Circuit, one of the most liberal federal appellate benches in the nation.
GOOD! If it’s a fight you want Donks, well now you’ve got one! Say goodbye to your precious filibuster, and then Justice O’Connor can retire in peace. Liberals, get your “Screw Abstinence” rallies ready to go and do not hesitate to show the country just how screwed in the head you truly are!
