So is Alito a Miers or a Roberts?

Looks like a Roberts. Sam Alito has expressed a willingness to overturn Roe v. Wade, was against taking religious displays out of public areas during Christmas, and ruled in favor of a law allowing Iranian women to migrate to America under gender discrimination.

But--WHOOPS!-- Chuch Schumer is already on the attack. Here is a factual response to the lies he spewed forth in his angry response to Alito's nomination.

"Good morning, everybody. This morning I went and visited Rosa Parks in the Capitol Rotunda, to pay my respects. Being in the presence of Ms. Parks was awe-inspiring. This was a woman who changed history...."

Blah, blah, blah BLAH BLAH skipping ahead a bit....

"The real question today, is whether Judge Alito would use his seat on the bench, just as Rosa Parks used her seat on the bus, to change history for the better, or whether he would use that seat to reverse much of what Rosa Parks and so many others, fought so hard, and for so long, to put in place... A preliminary review of [Alito's] record raises real questions about Judge Alito's judicial philosophy, and his commitment to civil rights, to worker's rights, women's rights, the rights of average Americans, which the courts have always looked out for."

Ok, line by line:

"A preliminary review of [Alito's] record raises real questions about Judge Alito's judicial philosophy, and his commitment to civil rights..."

Question about his commitment to civil rights?! In Williams v. Price, Alito granted habeas corpus to a black prisoner who wanted to introduce evidence that a juror made a racist comment after a trial. Doesn't sound like someone who is insensitive to civil rights to me...

"to worker's rights, women's rights..."

Ah yes, Alito is certainly an anti-woman crusader for male superiority, thus the reason he ruled it acceptable for woman from Iran to be granted asylum in America under gender persecution grounds.

Best of all, Alito is a conservative. Many have even given him the nickname "Scalito" because of the similarities in his judicial philosophy to the philosophy of Judge Antonin Scalia.

One last quote from Schumer:

""It is sad that the president felt he had to pick a nominee likely to divide America instead of choosing a nominee in the mold of Sandra Day O'Connor, who would unify us."

First, isn't it interesting that the Dems didn't go around after Rehnquist's death saying that we needed another person "just like Rehnquist"? And secondly, how would O'Connor unify us? It certainly would not unify the right-wing with the left. Can we really expect anything in this country to unify patriotic, sane people (conservatives) with back-stabbing traitorous baby-killers (liberals)?
