It's no wonder the radical right is ecstatic that President Bush bowed to their demands, ditched Harriet Miers, and picked Samuel Alito. On nearly every front -- privacy, reproductive rights, corporate responsibility, environmental regulation, and others -- Alito would clearly steer the Supreme Court in radical new conservative directions. However, given the current Republican control of all three branches of government, it is a forgone conclusion that he will be confirmed.
The importance of this process is that voting and the votes you cast do make a difference, even beyond the applicabe terms. In this case, THEY COUNT FOR THE LIFE OF MR. ALITO AS THIS IS A LIFETIME APPOINTMENT.
