Fox poll shows Alito support Alito just 35%

Wonder if Alito is going to go for this inherent authority crap?

Of all people, J. Edgar Hoover stopped Nixon in his tracks when he wanted to wiretap leaders of the antiwar movement in 1970. Unfortunately, there are no such curbs on Shrub's usurpation of powers.

the elections start to look a little shaky too.

Bork him!

as Bork.

he still is brilliant, but I disagree with his whole premise about our country and our constitution. But it is always enlightening to hear him talk. That, plus the fact that I did not care much for him personally. I have to admit he is one very smart man. at times, his own brilliance blinded him from reality.

Alito is 1/2 as smart, but 2x as dangerous, because he is a soldier, an activist without a soul, a person taking orders about the PNAC take-over the entire nation.
would he support Bush's uncosntitutional and illegal orders re: spying on citizens? Hell, yes, and he would smile while doing it. And, his own ideals blind him from reality far more than Bork.

are essentially identical to those of support for Bush. So Alito is totally identified with Bush's interests and politics (i.e. lying and faux moderacy and simple lack of any guiding principle except ego) in voters' minds.

Wow. Amazing that a SCOTUS nominee would get so much attention as to ride W's coattails down into the gutter.

It sux but it's true.

...they just want to use it as a devisive wedge issue to work up the dander of jeesus freaks.

What can be done?

After the Harriet Miers debacle, it's clear that the "up-or-down vote" argument is pretty specious coming from the same people who torpedoed the last nomination. Bide a little time, get a few choice comments into the record at his Judiciary Committee hearing, and Alito might torpedo himself. This keeps up, and Stupidhead might have to {gasp!} nominate a non-ideologue, just to get this whole thing behind him. We know that he doesn't have the longest attention span in the world, and if somebody tells him he has to nominate ANOTHER person for the Supreme Court, he'll run crying out of the room.

I complained to the History Channel about them running confirm Alito ads. Turned out they were regional ads through my cable provider. I called them about it. They stopped running on the 15th.
