As predicted here recently, the Senate has confirmed Judge Alito’s appointment to the Supreme Court of the United States.
This is a sweet, sweet moment. Decades of hard work has paid off with the appointment of Justice Roberts and now Justice Alito. The former is particularly satisfying as Alito is a more openly conservative fellow than [...]

Judge Alito is clearly qualified as Supreme Court Justice and the Democratic senators are seemingly endlessly running their mouths just to impress their left-wing supporters, in particular the abortion-on-demand lobby. Fortunately, we should have an Alito safe majority in the Senate, and if the Democrats try to filibuster Alito, it would be prudent for the [...]

President George W. Bush has nominated Judge Sam Alito for Supreme Court Justice. Drop everything and join the fight. Confirming Judge Alito is an important step towards making the Supreme Court an intrepreter of laws, not a legislative assembly whose edicts can’t be vetoed.

At least not in the Supreme Court, and Harriet Miers finally realized it. Well, perhaps she did all along but didn’t want to tell George W. Bush no when he wanted to nominate her.
It would be nice to say that we can all just move forward now, but I doubt it will work out that [...]

I’ve stayed away from blogging for a few days to give the pro-Miers arguments a chance to seep into my brain. For those Miers supporters who are hoping for a mellowing among ant-Miers forces, I have to say I’m sorry I can’t oblige. She remains a Bush crony of undetermined ideology, with no experience as [...]

Wall Street Journal editorial page columnist John Fund wasn’t exactly thrilled by Harriet Miers nomination to the Supreme Court, but he was willing to wait ’til the hearings to ask questions. He now believes that “questions about Ms. Miers should be raised now–and loudly–because she has spent her entire life avoiding giving a clear picture [...]

I still haven’t seen any good argument for why Harriet Miers should be on the Supreme Court. It is not a good argument that “we should trust Bush” or that “the president has made his choice” or that she is a Texas lawyer (which seems to be Beldar’s talking point) or that the president can’t [...]

One can always count on Boston Herald’s columnist Margery Eagan to make room for left-wing voices of unreason, like Jennifer Braceras, who’s quoted as saying: “The Hispanic community has every right to feel betrayed…by [conservatives] mobilizing against Gonzeles without making the case for a different Hispanic…” Yeah, there was no Hispanic judge to conservatives liking. [...]

Patrick Ruffini breaks a lance for Supreme Court Justice nominee Harriet Miers:
Little is known about the views of Harriet Miers. But what is known, through official and unofficial channels, paints a picture of a conservative Texas lawyer with rock-solid beliefs on life, strong religious convictions, and a modesty that should allay fears of a renegade [...]

After years and years of hard-fought battles, the Republican coalition finally put together enough victories to give a Republican President the chance to nominate two Supreme Court Justices for a Republican Senate to approve. And it turns out that one of those nominees is Harriet Miers, President George W. Bush’s Other Law Caddy.
And that’s why [...]
