One of my favorite Ciruit Court judges, Samuel Alito of the 3d Circuit, is the new nominee. The SCOTUS blog has a good post. Some pundits refer to Judge Alito as "Scalito" because of his Scalian judicial philosophy. This is a good pick by the President, and although the Democrats will huff and puff, they won't be able to blow this house down.
Alito will be confirmed by January 1.
The web log for Prof. Duncan's Constitutional Law Classes at Nebraska Law-- "[U]nder our Constitution there can be no such thing as either a creditor or a debtor race. That concept is alien to the Constitution's focus upon the individual. In the eyes of government, we are just one race here. It is American. " -----Justice Antonin Scalia If you allow the government to take your liberty during times of crisis, it will create a crisis whenever it wishes to take your liberty.
