He's not Chief Justice, that's Edwards. Alito will just be a Justice.

The filibuster, not surprised by. It shouldn't be used in a case like this, but it is since that's the way our political system works now. Alito isn't the type of guy I like, and he's likely to "end" abortion (since abortion, like drug use, won't go away it only puts the profits from abortion into the hands of criminals instead of doctors and the economy). However, he's at least got a knowledge of the system in which he works. Can't say that about everyone.

My fault, just a typo I was reading something on edwars at the same time when I wrote this. correction, Justice Nommine.

He is also a big fan of church and state union.

Boo to this man! Firstly because he dodges questions, but everyone involved in politics does, but that still makes it annoying. Secondly, he is clearly conservative, and while not all conservatives are bad people, there are waaay too many in the government currently, we don't need anymore.

Maybe this guy ain't so bad after all :ohmy:

[darkon]

Yeah, but keep in mind another right-wing person would've voted with him. The whole deal is that it is 5 conservatives and 4 liberals... some more conservative than others.

He isn't a big of a joke as John Roberts.

Still filled with evil, however.
