Looks like a treat on Halloween for the right-wing conservative movement today.
No grim reaper - rather the vote that will overturn Roe v. Wade.
Today, President Bush appointed 3rd Circuit Court of Appeals Judge Samuel Alito.
A brief biography from scotusblog.com:
Judge Alito currently serves on the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Third Circuit. Prior to his nomination to the Third Circuit by President George H.W. Bush, he served as U.S. Attorney for the District of New Jersey (1987-1990), Deputy Assistant Attorney General (1985-1987), and Assistant to the Solicitor General (1981-1985).
Judge Alito was born in 1950 in Trenton NJ. He attended Princeton University and Yale Law School. He clerked for Judge Leonard I. Garth on the Third Circuit.
He will be overwhelmingly confirmed, even without saying the obvious: "Thank you Mr. President, I will overturn Roe."
Can I just ask the right-wing conservative movement to stop crying and whining like the entitlement-driven liberals they scream about daily? You right-wingers have been whining for months that our, not YOUR President owes you a Supreme Court nomination that will "do what they need to do." You all are such babies. The fact that you think abortion is the biggest problem facing this country is an embarrassment.
He owes YOU nothing. This is not your country, nor your court, regardless of what you listen to on TV or radio.
By the way, Samuel Alito will also be confirmed because he has always been on the side of government, never representing a criminal defendant. What's his position on the death penalty, the Fourth Amendment, and the right to counsel?
None of you really care.

It's not just conservatives who think the only thing the Supreme Court of the United States does is decide on abortion cases it’s the whacko way left liberals as well, if not, even more so.
ReplyDeleteI think it's really sad that “we” (Repubs and Dems) focus on this one issue as a litmus test rather than looking at the entirety of the man’s career. As a conservative myself, my personal belief is that he will not try to overturn Roe v. Wade. I expect him as I do all of the Supreme Court Justices to decide their cases on the merits of the case itself with respect to the U.S. Constitution and not their personal beliefs.
Now, can you help me take my next door neighbor’s house and land, I would like to put up a for profit hotel that will employ a lot more people than the married couple and their little infant daughter. After all, it will benefit the local municipality more….isn’t that more important?
