Well, Bushie-boy has picked Scali...oops, Judge Samuel Alito for the Supreme Court. This is one of those issues where, again, I plan to restrict myself to blogging the major events rather than the minutiae. I've no intention of hogging bandwidth which could be used by someone who understands the minutiae and the implications better.
Suffice it to say that Alito hold views repugnant to everyone who doesn't think Adam and Eve rode to Bible School on a dinosaur. He is a pander to Bush's most virulent, nasty, anti-democratic, paranoiac, zenophobic, pro-life but pro-death-penalty, God-loves-the-rich-or-they-wouldn't-be-rich base. As such, he is sure to get wide support from the wingnut Right.
He is also, and let's not beat around the President here, a distraction from last week's indictment. Its cynical, manipulative and utterly expected. If you listen carefully, you can hear Alito saying, very quietly, "Run, Dick, Run and hide!"
I wonder if anyone in the Senate will ask him if he considers perjury a serious crime?
