BS: Alito is elected

Samuel Alito is elected to the supreme court 58-42 described as a comfortable margin.

No fillabuster, no one really wanted one except Kerry when he called in from the ski slope. Kennedy and Durkin look like real sour grapes. Perhaps Al Franken would have been a better choice for them. It just seems their main interest as usual, is all about undermining.

If Alito judges as he said he would (and as he should), he'll do okay. I don't like the idea of politicizing the Supreme Court from any direction.

Too late.

By a long way.

The Dredd Scott decision is a good example of politics in the high court.

Anyway, Welcome to the dark ages.

Yes, Alito was confirmed. This will bring more balance to the court and I couldn't be more pleased.

Some folks have a really peculiar idea of what "balanced" means.

Sour grapes? Why sour grapes? Get that out of your book of clichés? (Doesn't make any sense.)

So you favor a little "activist judging" then, Marty? I thought so. At least as long as it goes the way YOU think it should.

I can't say I'm displeased by the way he voted in his first decision.

Current Ages of Supreme Court Judges

Douglas       85   
Ginsberg      73   
Scalia       70   
Kennedy       70
Breyer       68
Souter       66
Thomas       57
Alito         55
Roberts       51

Looks like we will have Alito, Thomas, and Roberts for a longggggggggg time.

Baiscally the court is unchanged.   We replaced two conservatives with two concervatives.   The real change would come if Douglas croaks in the next two years.    That would be a real change in the courts.

Bobert is a ray of sunshine in a gloomy world.

He is more concerned about letting a convicted killer live than an innocent fetus.
