Justice Alito

POSTED: Tuesday, January 31, 2006, 1:11 PM

Filed Under: Poli Sci

As Samuel A. Alito Jr., rises to the highest bench in the land, on a partisan vote of 58-42, a new poll shows the Democratic Party seizing the advantage on Iraq, the economy, health care, immigration, ethics and other issues.

Time for a food fight.

It's a shame that Dems like to tar judges whose underlying philosophy is not to make stuff up and to stick to the law and the Constitution.

Republicans did not make an issue out of Ginsberg, even though she was an ACLU lawyer. Why? Unless someone is totally bad, the President should get who he wants.

And for everyone who thinks Roe is a good legal decision, please tell me how the rights of a fetus change because 9 is divisible by 3. If the human gestation period was a prime number, how would that affect the rights of the unborn?

Nice pic of Howard Dean, Dan.  Where did you find it?

Actually that is the future Senator Blutarsky. I'm guessing Democrat.

Dan,

Just remembered...

the economy, immigration?

The economy has been doing well and going strong for a while now, even with major natural disasters and high oil prices. Maybe good economic news gets no emphasis and every bit of slightly negative economic news does.
