For anyone who cares, what is your opinion of Bush’s nomination of Alito to the Supreme Court?

I haven’t read a lot yet, but from the opinions he’s written that I have read, he seems like a fair-minded conservative… I think he places the emphasis on precedent over his personal beliefs when there is a precedent set.

yes and no.

i think scalia’s decisions are more influenced by his personal opinions than alito’s are. i think they have very similar beliefs, but alito is less of an “activist judge”.

there isnt a single person on the face of the planet that Bush could nominate that I wouldnt hate. The very fact that Bush picked them would make me immediately stop trusting them.
