From NewsMax:
Just Who Is Judge Alito?
With Judge Alito's nomination to the Supreme Court, the President did what he promised to do. He nominated a judge in the mold of Justices Scalia and Thomas.
Someone with a proven record of putting the Constitution first. And someone who understands that judges are supposed to carefully consider the law and the facts, not legislate from the bench.
He certainly understands the proper ?and limited ? role of a judge, and he's a distinguished and experienced federal appeals court judge to boot.
As Assistant to the Solicitor General, he argued at least a dozen cases before the Supreme Court. And, he's logged 15 years on the 3rd Circuit Court of Appeals, where he has written more than 300 opinions.
In fact, he's had more experience on a Court of Appeals than any Supreme Court nominee in 70 years!
And he's left a paper trail that stretches from Philadelphia to Washington ? a record of fairness and insight that shows he values the Constitution.
Like Scalia and Thomas, he has been true to his judicial principles, and true to the Constitution - even when that meant he had to stand alone.
In short, he's the man we expected President Bush to nominate. And now we have to fight for the President's courageous choice.

Hitler's judges were strict constructionists and original intenters.

Jefferson said:
Roe v. Wade is grossly overrated. Even if overturned, only a maximum of 10% of the nations' clinics will be affected. Maybe 20 states will vote to ban abortion in the aftermath of a Roe overturn.
Plus, the Republicans will NEVER allow Roe to be overturned. They depend on it to 1.) Keep abortion legal, and thus have a tool with which to mobilize their base and 2.) To blame Democrats for abortion at the same time. They will never give the Dems such a valuable political gift as overturning Roe.
Not to mention there are pro choice people who support the overturn of Roe. Scalia seems to be one of them, as he has indicated in the past that while he feels abortion should be generally legal, it should be a matter left to the States.
I actually rather like Alito. Seems to be well qualified.
