Alito ShuffleWell, initial reaction to this pick seems quite favorable. Where's the fun in that? Come on guys, let's form the circular firing squad one more time. He's a Catholic; surely somebody wants to talk about how he'll be beholden to Rome and the whore of Babylon? An Italian from New Jersey? Surely he must be mob-connected!
Hugh Hewitt
supports him and thinks he's an excellent nominee. Surely that should get a rise out of the geniuses over at the Corner; perhaps someone could compare him to Caligula's cat? Forget about that, he went to Princeton and Yale; he's one of them.
I've heard that he once gave a quarter to a beggar; this indicates that he's a collectivist sympathizer. He was once heard to dispute a call on a playground as "unfair"; he clearly feels a desire to use the judiciary to solve all problems.
Bitter? Nah, just amused. We're going to get the fight that we wanted over this nominee from the Democrats. Let's just hope we can really win it.
