Given that the requirement of no Conservative Southern Protestants are allowed to be on SCOTUS, they will be no filibuster.

This is McCain's second test.

If he really wants to be president, he'll back the F$%^ off.

In my opinion, he's already squandered it though. But he can still prove that he at least wants it. But we've worked too hard for this.

I agree. If McCain doesn't stick with GW on this, he can kiss any hope of being the Republican nominee goodbye.

Will be interesting to see what the gang does with Alito.

For those wanting to punch the dems in the nose, I think Alito should do the trick. I think this will nomination will start some real mud slinging.

If he gets to be President, he will get it without my vote.

Hairy A. Reid told the president that he better not pick Alito. The Rats have already started ranting and raving like the bunch of spoiled brats that they are.

Yes, it will be interesting, as there can be no "compromise" now.

They're either going to vote for or against him, there is no middle ground.

And if the GOP had any fortitude, they would ignore the MINORITY party and what their irrelevant leaders have to say.

Sadly, Republicans have made the Minority Dems relevant.

I have been writing my reps for years and telling them to grow a backbone, but to no avail.

He doesn't. He wants to ride through D.C. on a donkey, while republicans lay palms before him. And declare him the annointed one. Other than that, he's not interested in power.;)

Dingy Harry Reid liked Miers and doesn't like Alito. That's all I need to know. Go, Alito, go!

"Constituents “are getting very weary about us fighting each other all the time,” McCain said, adding that the “far right and far left cranked up their propaganda machines” the moment that O’Connor announced her retirement from the Supreme Court on July 1."

McCain is a rino who hates conservatives.

The 7 RINO thugs better get one thing straight on this new SCOTUS pick. They back him or they pack up and go home.

If he gets the nom, I won't be voting republican.

But I doubt enough people around here would let that happen. Most are rooting for guys like George Allen, which is my personal fav.

You know, I did sent him a very nice email, about a year ago, about the time he was asking for Rumsfeld head, or something like, suggesting to him exactly that. There is not shame in changing parties..:) I did not get a response :)
