Bush Nominates Alito

President Bush has nominated Judge Samuel A. Alito Jr to replace O'Connor on the Supreme Court. (Transcript)

"Civil rights and womens' Rights groups vowed to defeat the nomination, declaring that they will not allow a conservative on such social issues to take the seat of moderate Justice Sandra Day O'Connor." - Washington Post

Civil rights and womens' Rights groups strategically-misunderstand is that it is not a Judge's prerogative to legislate from the bench. If Civil and womens' Rights groups want particular Rights they don't already have, they need to urge their legislators to draft Constitutional Amendments. Let's leave legislating to the legislators. - Armand

We have a process here, ladies and gentlemen, and our three branches of government are SEPARATE for a reason. What do you say we try and stick with that?

What are your questions at this time?
