Samuel Alito...

is the next contestant for the position of Associate Judge on the Supreme Court. It seems like President Bush has actually paid lip service to, you know, federalism, strict constructionism, whatever you want to call it. It's pretty much a victory for conservatives.

Of course, liberals are going to hate it.

The million dollar question is whether the Democrats are going to filibuster Alito's nomination when it reaches the Senate floor. I would have to say yes.

That's what everyone seems to expect. I would be shocked if Democrats let the nomnation go by without a filibuster. The far left has been gearing up for this battle for a long time now.

Also, here's a listing of Judge Alito's decisions on business law. Of course, I have no clue what those rulings mean, but all I know is that he looks to be a solid citizen with a good track record. Let's see how the Democrats take that.
