Alito is a supreme improvement
There’s no question judge Alito is more qualified than Miers ever will be, which is why I questioned the Miers nomination in the first place. This quote got me:
The 55-year-old Italian-American jurist was Bush’s favorite choice of the judges in the last set of deliberations but he settled instead on someone outside what he calls the “judicial monastery,” the officials said.
What!? Settled? There should be no settling on the supreme court. Nominate the best person, period. Race shouldn’t matter. Gender shouldn’t matter. The Supreme Court represents the Constitution, not the people of America, so the justices don’t have to look like anything. There shouldn’t have to be this many women, or this many minorities, or any of that. Let us have only the best.
