Samuel Alito - When You Can't Fault The Nominee...

...just fault the selection. That seems to be the left's battle cry for now. Dubya addressed the concern of both the left and right, no record for Harriet Miers, by naming someone with a long record to be examined and one who appears to consistently apply constitutional parameters in his rulings. So what's the big deal? He's male and he's white.

Now the left is carping that the court won't reflect society's diversity. Here's a flash. THE SUPREME COURT IS NOT A LEGISLATURE. As hard a the court seems to have tried to "legislate from the bench" it isn't an elected body, which one may expect to somewhat reflect the face of society.

Alito is Catholic, bringing the number of sitting justices to five when he's confirmed. Now the number is four. The fifty percent now on the court doesn't reflect society. So what. Two are Jewish. The twenty-five percent doesn't reflect society. So what.

His record seems to indicate that he will be a solid justice. That should be the concern.

Just a thought.

If what I seem to be hearing about his opinion of the right to self defense is true, then I'm solidly in favor of his appountment. If he will read the Bill of Rights and apply it as written, word for word, I'm with him 100%.

It'll change the face of American government a whole lot.

Too much to expect, I suppose.

The left has nothing left, so now they want Affirmative Action for the SCOTUS.

What a bunch of losers ... SORE losers.
