Scalia II
October 31st, 2005 by Josh
Minutes ago, Dubya Bush nominated 3rd Circuit Appeals Court Judge Samuel Alito for the U.S. Supreme Court.
I haven’t had time for much research, and I’m about to head out to the airport, but it looks like Bush’s “conservative base” is getting exactly what they want. Another Antonin Scalia.
So consistently conservative, Alito has been dubbed “Scalito” or “Scalia-lite” by some lawyers because his judicial philosophy invites comparisons to conservative Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia. But while Scalia is outspoken and is known to badger lawyers, Alito is polite, reserved and even-tempered.
So he’s Scalia’s clone, but he’s friendlier. God (Intelligent Designer) help us all.
More later, when I have time. Off to Florida (for work, not play).
