Congratulations Judge Alito
Federal Appeals Court Judge Samuel Alito was nominated to the Supreme Court today as Justice O’Connor’s successor by President Bush. My hearty congratulations, Judge Alito.
From what I have read about Judge Alito, he is a conservative who recognizes he is not above the law and who will interpret the law with an orginalist perspective. Congratulations President Bush on nominating a verifiable conservative judge who is skilled in constitutional law.
Alito’s confirmation will allow the general public to understand (if they pay attention) why it is important to have originalist judges and why the radicialism of some who wear black robes is so harmful for our democratic republic.
More on the nomination later (I plan to read many of Alito’s opinions and comment). For now, congratulations. I am pleased to support Alito’s nomination to the SCOTUS.
