JUDGE SAMUEL ALITO TO THE HIGH COURT - THE FIGHT IS ON !

President Bush announced early this morning that his nominee to replace retiring Supreme Court Justice Sandra Day O'Connor is Pennsylvania 3rd Circuit Court Federal Judge Samuel Alito a well known conservative. Judge Alito has served as a judge for 15 years which makes him the most experienced judge nominated in more than seventy years. Alito has served as an attorney, a prosecutor, a federal attorney and a judge and is one of the most respected legal minds in the United States. He is a strict conservative who believes that the Constitution should be interpreted according to the original intent of the Founding Fathers which is very good news. I am sick if hearing the left continually refer to the Constitution as a, "living, breathing document." The principles found within the Constitution are not flexible and are absolute when it comes to the legalities and morals that this country is based on. The courts have abused this to the point that legislation has been issued from the bench and this is the importance of choosing someone with the judiciary philosophy of Judge Alito. The left have been going nuts over the nomination, referring to him as, "Scaltio, " since his judiciary background is similar to that of Associate Justice Scalia, a VERY strict Constituionalist conservative. This nomination will be a fight and a fight that has been needed to show the country who the Democrats and particularly the far leftist really are. They will seek to destroy this fine judge, but what will happen will be a true discourse through the hearing process that will shine brightly the light of conservative values and the strict meaning of the Constitution which will be to the benefit of the nation. Judge Alito said in his acceptance speech this morning that he believed in the LIMITED role of the judiciary and the strict interpretation of the Constitution. An excellent choice by the President and a truly fine judge who will bring the court back to what the Founders intended, a court that strictly interprets the law based on strict Constitutional values. Thank you Mr. President !
