POST Defeating prejudice with Alito

After Miers' withdrawal from the run for the Supreme Court, it's quite clear that Bush has been thrown in the conservative's point of view. An evident path considering the current composition of the Senate.


Many will agree in saying that, considering the options that were being balanced. Is Samuel Alito what the Supreme Court should get? Democrats keep shouting "NO, the balance will be broken". Crocodile tears, in my humble opinion, as they would pack the court with abortionists and pro-rights judges to serve their most radical electors, if they had their opportunity.

I'm still trembling, actually, at the possibilities of Kerry, a fake catholic, in the White House. Legalizing free abortion, letting Gay marriages, just like in Spain, and smoking pod in the oval office. I can't help thinking that Bush, not being confessionally catholic, represents much better our interests than anyone else, in the Beltway. That is quite more reassuring that Kerry's views. A lot more.

From the same man that knows that liberty has boundaries, we now get James Alito. A man of the liking in the most conservative circles of the judiciary system, therefore, of the liking of the Republican right-wingers. This has both positive and negative sides which are, basically, the friends that back you up.

I mean, if you're moderated, either being liberal or conservative, you've got all the odds to be hated, rather than loved. Specially if a "more suitable man", ) and let me point up that I'm not being sexist at this) is fit for the place you're aiming. It's like "Ok, you're a moderated person, but we're looking for something else" when applying for a job.

If you want my personal thought about it, I'd say Alito, being a radical, is going to be quite more backed up than Miers was. And is it good for the Supreme Court? Yes. In the end, we're not talking about politics, up there, but of justice. A title the new judge gets, and in the end, what they seek with every decision they take.
