Majority of Americans Favor Alito Nomination-Washington Post/ABC News Poll
New Post/ABC Poll on Alito

By Richard Morin

"A majority of Americans favor the confirmation of federal appeals court judge Samuel A. Alito Jr. to the U.S. Supreme Court and an even larger proportion believe Alito would not vote to overturn Roe v. Wade, the 1973 high court ruling that legalized abortion, according to the latest Washington Post-ABC News poll."

[txindy]

24. I can't find that poll, either, but the quotes from Junior are priceless!

Junior said about Scalito:

"Sam’s got the intellect necessary to bring a lot of class to that Court. He’s got a judicial temperament necessary to make sure that the Court is a body that interprets the law and doesn’t try to write the law. And so I’m looking forward to your hearings."

Meaning... What, exactly? That the SC has little (or no) class or intellect now and they need Scalito to raise them up? :rofl: I'm sure they'll be thrilled to hear that. O'Connor must be so happy to leave, since she's apparently been trying "to write the law" for far too long. She must be exhausted, the classless activist. Hey, Junior said so! :rofl:

Then there's this gem:

"I know the American people will be impressed, just like I have been impressed and a lot of other members of the Senate have been impressed. "

Yee-hah, someone learned hisself a new word - and thinks he's a member of the Senate. Boy, howdy, I know I'm "impressed." :freak:

27. LOL! Yes, bringing much-needed class to the high court

Junior on the other hand, has sullied the Office of President forever with his fake good 'ol boy homespun way 'o talkin' to the masses.

[txindy]

14. Alito - author of "signing statements" tactic

This is an email I go from the "The Pen" <[e-mail] >

HE NEXT TWO WEEKS WILL DECIDE IF DEMOCRACY WILL SURVIVE

Bush is now completely and certifiably out of control. But to remove the last
restraint on the creation of a new American dictatorship they must install one more lock down
vote on the Supreme Court, in the person of Sam Alito.

Despite Alito's extreme right wing voting record and lifelong ideological agenda,
nobody expects him to show up at his hearing sporting a tail and horns wearing a red suit.
Instead he will lie and evade like some Wal-Mart smiley face, just as he did when in
his confirmation for the Court of Appeals he promised to recuse himself from cases
involving his own investments. Then he fought to do precisely otherwise. He will make
absolutely any misrepresentation of his views and his agenda to try to sneak past public
accountability yet again, while his record shouts otherwise. And only your voices speaking
out now can turn the tide against this judicial coup.

http://www.usalone.com/alito.php

We are planning a two-stage action. First with the action page above we will build a
consensus that ANY replacement for Sandra Day O'Connor must be no worse than a true
moderate and centrist. Then after the conclusion of the hearings we will speak out AGAIN
on specific question of the final vote in the Senate. Please submit every possible
action page you can get your hands on, and keep speaking out until we prevail, just as we
did on ANWR and the torture prohibition.

But remember that Alito was the author of the tactic of Bush trying to spin acts of
Congress with so-called "signing statements" in hopes that some future Supreme Court
(including now guess who) would give them weight over the will of the people. And Bush did
just that with the anti-torture bill, declaring that he really didn't consider himself
bound at all. Every day from now on must be STOP Alito day, otherwise our democracy is
doomed.

A lot of responses, so clearly either side, us or the freeps, can have much of an impact. This is funny though. On another post aol was asking if alito should be filabustered. The no vote was a bit ahead of the no vote. Granted, there was another opiton which said should opinion wait until after the hearings.

[txindy]

47. Maybe we've hit the wall on this one with the public voting 60% 'No'

With 65,691 votes. Anyone who hasn't voted should do so, however.
