Bush Nominates Alito for Supreme Court
We know he’s a good choice because the Democrats are calling him “too radical”, and Senator Shumer said “This controversial nominee, who would make the court less diverse and far more conservative, will get very careful scrutiny from the Senate and from the American people”.
This despite President Bush’s promise made during the election (at which he won the most votes of any President in the history of the United States) that he was going to nominate Supreme Court judges in the model of conservative Justice Antonin Scalia.
Alito has been dubbed “Scalito” or “Scalia-lite” by some lawyers because his judicial philosophy invites comparisons to that of conservative Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia.
Probably should have made this choice to start with, saving tons of time and grief….
President Bush on Monday nominated Samuel Alito to the Supreme Court to replace the retiring Justice Sandra Day O’Connor.
While many Republicans praised the judicial nominee, Democrats wasted no time in publicly blasting him as “too radical.”
“Judge Alito is one of the most accomplished and respected judges of America and his long career in public service has given him an extraordinary breadth of judicial experience,” Bush said in making the announcement in the White House.
“He’s scholarly, fair-minded and principled and these qualities will serve him well on the highest court in the land.”
