True, we have Roberts, already, but getting Alito through will be the true "war."

Bush has done his job, he nominated him. Now we'll see how our representatives in Congress fight this one.

I'll be pleasantly surprised if they stand with the Alito nomination.

Bush already "lost" Miers, and I think that makes this pick stronger.

If the GOP Senate fails to vote on or confirm Alito, I think that would make GWB stronger still - contrary to popular opinion.
