Alito to Replace O'Connor?
The fight over the future of the Supreme Court that we have
been fearing since President Bush took office has finally
arrived -- but under extraordinary circumstances. Allowing the
Right to veto his nomination of Harriet Miers, President Bush
has now nominated Judge Samuel Alito of the US Court of Appeals
for the Third Circuit.

If confirmed, said one commentator, "There will be no one to
the right of Sam Alito on this Court."

Alito was the only Third Circuit judge who voted to uphold a
requirement that a woman notify her husband before seeking an
abortion. Operation Rescue responded to his nomination by
proclaiming "Roe's days are numbered. we are now on the
fast-track to derailing Roe v. Wade as the law of the land."

Alito has argued that Congress does not have the power to
regulate the sale of machine guns at gun shows.

He tried to uphold the strip search of a mother and her ten
year-old daughter, even though the warrant authorizing a
search did not name either of them.

Alito rejected claims by an African American defendant who
had been convicted of felony murder by an all-white jury from
which black jurors had been impermissibly struck because of
their race.

Senate Minority Leader Harry Reid quickly signaled his
disappointment with the President's decision to appoint
someone so enthusiastically supported by "those who want to
pack the Court with judicial activists." Patrick Leahy, ranking
member of the Senate Judiciary Committee, called Bush's choice
a "needlessly provocative nomination.reward[ing] one faction of
his party at the risk of dividing the country."

AWD sez:

This country is going down the shitter faster than anyone imagined back in 2000 when bu$h stole the election. True science is hurting and will take a lifetime to recover. Civil Rights are only for the rich white people. Justice exists only for corporations. What a sad society we are.

If this keeps up, I'm gonna go to Red Mountain and never come back.....
