Conservative Base Should Rally Around Alito

I'm very happy, and I applaud the Presidents choice in Sam Alito. Kudos to the President for doing the right thing. Its time now for all to join forces to insure that this nominee gets confirmed to SCOTUS.

The Miers nomination is now history, but it is useful perhaps, for a lessons learned example.

It would be helpful for some Miers advocates to go back, and read some of the many posts that tried to show, in a relatively calm and rational way, how the dems were setting a long term strategic trap for conservatives by suggesting (via Reids short list), that Miers would be an acceptable nominee to be appointed to SCOTUS.

Watch carefully, and see how the MSM, leftist pols, and misc. leftist advocacy groups all try to marshal their forces, in order to defeat what they see (in Alito) as a threat to THEIR long term agenda. Compare with their relatively subdued reaction to Miers.

Conservatives are rallying around Alito!

"I didnt enter the battle over Miers here. "

Me neither. I really didn't know what to make of her, because I could never figure out what there was to like or dislike about her. She had no experience, so who knew if she was conservative enough?

I do like this one, though.

I just hope the next choice is a strong Evangelical like JRB or Coryn.

>>>The Miers nomination is now history...

A footnote in history. Let's leave it at that.

[jess35]

Your characterization of people who supported the President's right to nominate Miers to SCOTUS is juvenile at best.

[JesseJane]

Geemanie...

What a WONDERFUL MESSAGE!!! I'm getting goosebumps, honestly!!

This should give a great lift to all conservatives, and encourage all wings in the party that eyes of the world on us in our battle for the future of our country!!

It is time to unite.

May God Bless our Friends and I offer my humble thanks for their support.

The President did indeed have the right to nominate Harriet Miers. But then, he has the right to nominate Howard the Duck if he wants to. We, on the other hand, have the right to shoot such nominees down.

What an awesome day.

>>>Conservative Base Should Rally Around Alito<<<

Should? LOL. We are happy to rally around Alito. I personally would have preferred Janice Rogers Brown; but Alito is a man of integrity who knows and has demonstrated the proper role of the judiciary. Expect a vicious fight from the left.

[caryatid]

The Dems kept saying about Miers ... Could have been worse ...

Conservatives are saying about Alito ... but, this is so much better ...

Thanks to all FReepers who engaged in the discourse that gave us a better nominee.

Not that I am looking to disagree here, but I have seen many raise the point that there are too many Catholics on the USSC. I myself am an evangelical. I really have a hard time however seeing why religion matters at all. Like I said on a thread yesterday, I don't care if the justices worship a salt shaker under a blood red moon, so long as they are strict originalists and read the founding documents AS WRITTEN. Nothing else matters to me. Not religion, sex or what school they went to.

[JesseJane]

Amen to that. Hopefully, that squabble is over and we can rally together.

Family fight, now lets have some cake and move on.. :)

[curiosity]

I would say it is time for those of us that fought over the Meiers debacle to come together in peace and harmony.

Amen to that.

Who was Miers again? I've already forgotten that unpleasant episode. Time to unite behind a man we can all support!

[MNJohnnie]

Happy Scalitoween! See we picked up Sen De Wine and Graham for the Consitutional Option today? That is 2 of the squishy 7!

[curiosity]

The RINOs are still licking their wounds over Harriet Miers,

It's over. It's history. Move on. Rehashing that episode isn't going to do anyone any good.

[MNJohnnie]

The only question is, will the RINOs?

Picked up De Wine and Graham for the Contiutional Option today. It's a start
