Non-Stealth Nomination

Partisan Politics

Bush nominated Sam Alito for the Supreme Court.  Conservatives will be happy, as Alito is one of the elect - his name is on the consensus list of acceptable candidates for the court.  By nominating Scalito, Bush will bring the wandering sheep back into the fold.  We’ll have to see whether the Democrats flip their lid over this nomination.  Offhand, I don’t see how they can, as it seems pretty much everyone is in agreement that the man has the juice for the post.  Any opposition will likely be purely ideological.

For my part, I’m cool with this one.  From Jonathan Turley on MSNBC:

In addition, Alito has written a very controversial dissent in a case involving the ownership of machine guns, suggesting that a statute prohibiting such things might be unconstitutional.
