New Supreme Court appointment, Samual Alito, Jr., appears to just the right blend of jurist and experience. He must be well known too, because it took Dems about 2 minutes to call him “Scalito” in honor of his decisions that mirror the track record of Conservative Justice, Joseph Scalia.

Bush hail’s him as the most experienced nominee in 60 years. Speaking of Bush, please don’t misunderstand my previous comments with his Miers appointment. I felt conservatives reacted properly. But, if conservatives did something good by openly expressing concerns over Miers, it does not mean Miers was necessarily a bad choice. It just means conservatives reacted with healthy skepticism and such reasonable due dilligence leads “inquiring minds” to a good base of knowlege.

Well, we wanted to be informed about the jurist nominee and now we have it. Alito is an open book and has present over a dozen cases before the Supreme Court. Check out his bio (short form): He has been a judge for the federal appeals court for 15 years. Former U.S. attorney – District of New Jersey from 1987 to 1990. Deputy assistant attorney general 1985 to 1987. Assistant to the solicitor general from 1981 to 1985. Alito is graduate of Yale, the son of an Italian immigrant born in Trenton, N.J. He attended Princeton University prior to Yale.

Don’t you feel better knowing Chucky Schummer hasn’t endorsed him and Harry Reid has concerns he might be too radical? Using the term “radical” for a conservative jurist like Alito is rediculous, but just the kind of irresponsible labeling what we’ve come to expect from Harry Reid.

I’d say we’re off to a much better start with this nominee.
