Alito Nomination Angers Socialists

Thank you, George Bush! After watching the putrid selection of the grossly underqualified Harriet Miers blow up in his face, Bush finally wised up and picked an exceptionally qualified candidate who is clearly the staunch judicial constructionist that us conservatives have been demanding.

Known as "Scalito" for his Scalia-like judicial philosophy, Sam Alito offers the real swing vote we need to abolish horrid leftwing rulings permitting partial birth abortion, affirmative action and gay marriage against the will of the voters.

Eminently qualified, Alito graduated from Yale law school, was U.S. attorney for the district of New Jersey, 1987-1990; deputy assistant to the U.S. attorney general, 1985-1987; and assistant to the U.S. solicitor general, 1981-1985, has argued 12 Supreme Court cases as a federal prosecutor, and for the last 15 years served as a Judge on the 3rd Circuit Court of Appeals.

Predictably, leftist quislings like Ted Kennedy and Charles Schumer have blown a gasket over the Alito nomination.

Said Kennedy without bothering to take qualifications into consideration:

"Rather than selecting a nominee for the good of the nation and the court, President Bush has picked a nominee whom he hopes will stop the massive hemorrhaging of support on his right wing. This is a nomination based on weakness, not strength."

Schumer's reaction was equally radical and unrelated to the suitability of Alito:

"It is sad that the president felt he had to pick a nominee likely to divide America instead of choosing a nominee in the mold of Sandra Day O'Connor, who would unify us. 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."

If it's bad for Schumer and bad for Kennedy then it must be good for America. Sam Alito, you have earned the Madzionist's endorsement for the Supreme Court.
