President Bush has nominated Judge Samuel Alito to fill the remaining vacancy on the U.S. Supreme Court.
It looks like the President got the message and responded appropriately. Judge Alito appears to be a thoughtful, well-qualified, and wise person who knows how to fairly consider the facts of each case and apply the applicable law in a reasonable way.
Today from Ted Kennedy: “Rather than selecting a nominee for the good of the nation and the court, President Bush has picked a nominee whom he hopes will stop the massive hemorrhaging of support on his right wing. This is a nomination based on weakness, not strength.” — Sen. Edward M. Kennedy
But 15 years ago, when nominated to his current post: He was confirmed unanimously on April 27, 1990[1], with Senator Ted Kennedy commenting at the time that Alito had a ‘very distinguished record.’ (From Wikipedia)
Despite the ‘hopes’ that Sen. K believes are behind this nomination, Alito looks like the man for the job…sorry, person for the job. I wonder if Sen K and his band would change their tune of Alito was a woman. Also, 15 years ago he was qualified to sit in his current seat which serves the people, now he’s not?
