#5 The dems/communists will fight like rabid dogs and end up filibustering. Once again the media focus will be all about Roe vs Wade, only this time there will be no question where Judge Alito comes down on the issue. The process goes, "oh, you didn't like the nice lady I nominated, well dumb asses, you'll REALLY love ole Sam! Bring it on!

#6 Sen. Edward M. Kennedy, D-~~Al-Queda~~Mass., pulled no punches. "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 on strength."

If the old Fat Drunk is against him -- he has to be good!

#7 Please someone enlighten me. Precisely what does Senator Kennedy know about "the good of the nation?"

#8 The Alito nomination makes Bush the Grinch that stole Fitzmas.

#10 Senator Kennedy, what did you know about the drowned dead babe in the back seat and when did you know it?

#11 I wrote on this website some time ago that I would vote Republican until the party got "too interventionary in my life". It has done so with this nomination.

President Bush-you are standing for loss of autonomy for women. With a nomination which is unmistakably hostile to reproductive freedom and the majority of Americans who support the legality of abortion, watch the edges of your majority dissolve away-starting with me. I will be now working for the success of Democratic nominees in the elections of next year.

You have principals, President Bush, I grant you that, and you are consistent. But I never before saw you as a man who wants to force women to have children. Now I do. Shame on you.

#12 Jules: Thanks for finally 'coming out' and making infant death - via choice, your litmus test. Welcome to the Democratic party. Neither the Republican party nor 'W' need your bloody vote anyway.

#13 Well, Jules, be as autonomous as you need to be, but please protect the entirely separate life living in a woman's womb, won't you?

I also assume that you are fully against laws that tell women they can't be drunk to get a tattoo or put limits on the age a woman can get her ears pierced.

#14 Jules, take some time and actual read what Alito opinioned. It wasn't that a wife had to notify her husband. That wasn't even the case. The legislature of the state had already made that rule. Alito just opinioned, it was not unconstitional for the legislature to pass that bill.

#15 btw Jules - if Roe v Wade is overturned you'll still have most states where aborting a fetus is legal. So you can be happy about that. It becomes a state question rather than a fed, as it should be.... a "penumbra of emanations"....*snort*

#16 I must disagree, Frank. Overturning Roe will be difficult to do on federalism basis alone. When the case is made to overturn it, I suspect there will be strong 14th amendment arguments made about the time at which life begins and rights adhere to the individual. There is a certain inconsistency in convicting Scott Peterson of two counts of murder but allowing abortionists to practice legally, even in Caliphornia. I don't think the justices who are willing to overturn Roe will find this an easy probelm to finesse.

#17 Got to agree with Chomotch. The Scott Peterson thing was a no brainer. He clearly killed two not one, and the entire country knew it. The abortion crowd was holding their breath on that one. This 'right to choose' crap has expanded to include women who throw thier kids into San Francisco Bay and pedifiles who rape and murder. It cheapens life for all. If a pregnant motorist dies in an auto accident, a ciscerian is performed to attempt to save the baby. The same is done for livestock. Peterson murdered two, no question about it.
