Hey….more Breaking News!!

Bush has nominated Samuel Alito for the Supreme Court!  With a nickname like “Scalito”, this already looks to be a much more positive (and popular) pick than Ms. Miers was. 

Judging by his judicial history, I think this will be a much more acceptable pick to the conservatives....and might be the thing that puts the Democrats back on the margins.  I mean....if they become overly obstructionist, it will set them up (at least in the public eye) as opposing Alito just because Bush picked him....and when the Republicans overturn the Dem filibuster (which is coming), the howling from the Left will be something to see. 

This choice is also going to push the SCOTUS a good bit towards the originalist side.  More good news.

I also heard Harry Reid is unhappy about this pick....makes me happy just to hear that.  Heh. 

Here’s the reactions (pretty early for this, but...):

Lovely and talented Michelle Malkin is all over it, and she seems to like the pick.  She’s also got some links. 

Polipundit seems to agree with this pick.

Johnny Hawkins, over at Right Wing News, only went to bed four hours ago, but this pick is in the top echelon of those we bloggers find to be acceptable.  I bet he’s happy about it. 

Up on the bridge, the Captain seems to be happy with this plotted course. 

Unfortunately, I am at work, so I would like any further posts of interests linked to in the Comments....or, if my co-bloggers are inclined, they can continue this as the day progresses.
