Judge Samuel Alito

After doing some reading about Judge Alito, it is my opinion that he will be confirmed with just slightly less of a majority than did Chief Justice Roberts. His credentials are impeccable, he has shown in his opinions to base his decisions on the rule of law, rather than his own opinions, and he is probably a hell of alot smarter than most of the members of the Senate Judicial Committee.

This pick, rather than being "sloppy seconds," as John Roberts of CBS news recently asked, should have been the pick in the first place. And fortunately, we won't have to hear Rev James Dobson testify, nor are the reasons for his pick because "he is a good Christian."

I believe that this hearing will be contentious, but informative. Hopefully, he will be able to faithfully execute the Constitution, and not the unConstitutional judicial ammendments thereto.
