It seems that Samuel Alito is the frontrunner. If W decides instead to choose a women, it appears to be Karen Williams. Either nomination would be outstanding.
Tom Goldstein, quoted in this column, correctly predicted the Roberts nomination and very early in the process, Oct 3, correctly predicted that Meirs would not be confirmed.

Is it just me, or since Alito's the new "favorite" that means he will not be the pick.
No one predicted Roberts, and few, if any, predicted Miers.

Isn't Alito Roman Catholic?
If so, try to imagine the fall out were FIVE Catholic MALES to overturn abortion on demand.
No, I doubt this nominee will be Catholic.

Searching as hard as I can, I still have never found anyone named "some".

I hope it works out that way.
To: etradervic
and the focus is on getting someone confirmed. No, no, no, if that was the case Miers would be on the court in a few days.

Anti-Catholic bigotry belongs to the left.

I read this carefully out of curiosity as to why Alito would be more confirmable by the Democrats, but couldn't find anything. He strikes me as an excellent candidate. Does anyone have any idea why he would be more confirmable than, say, Luttig?

The more I read the more I like this man. Sure, he's a Catholic, but along with a judicial fight we also, IMO, need a religious one. Hearing democrats turn on a nominee because of his religion may turn a few more Catholics our way.

OK, who's in charge of putting the tinfoil on Dubya's head; they obviously have slacked off.

Great question. I have heard this refrain repeatedly. Alito has a dissenting opinion supporting a PA Law that would require spousal notification for an abortion. Luttig has voted against partial-birth abortion. Luttig's vote must be considered more threatening. As we all know, for Libs its all about Roe.

Cool... Roberts can take Scalia and Alito to morning Mass for a photo op the day after the confirmation. Liberals all over the would go nuts.

I'm pretty sure that Alito's dissenting opinion in Planned Parenthood v. Casey, supported the PA law that require a husband be notified before a wife got an abortion. Alito's dissenting opinion was later cited by Chief Justice Rehnquist's dissenting opinion.

Scalito would be a good choice.

I better check with Frum and Coulter and ask them if they approve.

Luttig helped Clarence Thomas during his nomination. At the time of the nomination Luttig had been confirmed by the senate for the 4th circuit and stayed on to help thomas until he was seated on the bench. The dems have said they would fillabuster Luttig. He was on Reid's fillabuster list.

I think Bush should pick a non-white person now. I want to see the lily white Democrat Senators whining about a Hispanic judge.

For one he was confirmed by a 100-0 vote and 19 of the 44 democrats voted for him. Second, Specter likes him. Not because of his views, but because he sits on a Pennsylvania court.
A perfect nominee. He'd be the strong conservative we are looking for and he'd make 19 democrats look like real hypocrites if they oppose him.
