    • Schumer to fight new Bush high court picks

      Posted by Jeff from Politico

      Senators were too quick to accept the nominees’ word that they would respect legal precedents, and “too easily impressed with the charm of Roberts and the erudition of Alito,” Schumer said. “There is no doubt that we were hoodwinked,” said Schumer. Well duh.

    • Judge Alito's Radical Views

      Posted by Billbar from New York Times

      If Judge Samuel Alito Jr.'s confirmation hearings lacked drama, apart from his wife's bizarrely over-covered crying jag, it is because they confirmed the obvious. Judge Alito is exactly the kind of legal thinker President Bush wants on the Supreme Court.

    • Kiss and Make It Up

      Posted by Billbar from Slate

      In the end, Samuel Alito almost, almost sold me last week with the enormously attractive, ceaselessly repeated mantra that a judge's politics, ideology, preferences, and opinions really are irrelevant, but judicial promises to respect precedent are almost immaterial when the precedents are either ancient or nonbinding. What matters most when the case law falls away are ideology and politics.

    • Abortion Politics - Newsweek Politics

      Posted by Jeff from MSNBC

      "Any activist will tell you they'd rather have the issue out there than to have it resolved," says this pro-choice Republican, who has worked on the Hill and for various Republican interest groups. "If Roe were overturned, we'd be electing Democrats as far as the eye can see." Clift gets at the ultimate hypocrisy of GOP leadership - they're using the religious right. They'll never actually overturn Roe and Alito is probably on board with that.
