He's at it again. As everyone knows by now, judge Samuel Alito has been nominated for the Supreme Court. Of course before this morning I had never heard of the guy, but have read quite a bit on the matter today. Here are a couple of quotes that really point out that this is not the man for the job:
"The president has made an excellent choice today which reflects his commitment to appoint judges in the mold of (Antonin) Scalia and (Clarence) Thomas. Sam Alito, a 3rd Circuit Court of Appeals judge, has consistently embraced the original intent of the Constitution." — Kay Daly, president of the conservative Coalition for a Fair Judiciary.
That is just plain scary. If they really want this guy to get confirmed, why would a conservative even say that?
"Perhaps the most encouraging early indication that Judge Alito will make a great justice is that liberal senators such as Harry Reid and Charles Schumer and leftist pressure groups such as People for the American Way and Planned Parenthood have been lining up all day to scream that the sky is falling. Any nominee who so worries the radical left is worthy of serious consideration." -- James C. Dobson, Focus on the Family
I shivered when I read that one. Maybe we should have confirmed Miers when we had the chance? I just shivered again. Do any of you know who James Dobson is? He may sound familiar, but I had to check him out for myself. As you see in his quote above he is the head of Focus on the Family. Check out that link. This Website and group has to be the Whitest, most Christian, farthest Right Wing Website I have ever seen. The topic of his radio show today was Overcoming Sexual Sin in Marriage: Jennifer Ridgway talks about how her husband's sexual addiction affected their marriage and how God's grace has helped them recover. Fun stuff there. I have no problem with any of the topics discussed, but it's obvious from the Website that they are correct and everyone else is wrong. Think they care about Civil Rights? If by Civil Rights you mean the rights White America, then yes they do!
Sorry, got off on a tangent there, but that site got to me. Anyway, this is going to be quite a battle, and should be very interesting. There is no doubt that Alito is qualified for the post, but there are serious questions about him. Let the scrutiny begin. As of right now, since what I'm hearing that he is in the mold of Scalia and Thomas, I stand strongly opposed.
...As if my opinion matters.
