President Bush nominates Samuel Alito to the Supreme Court
Topics: Supreme CourtThis is the first time, since Robert Bork in 1987, that we have a Supreme Court nominee who everyone thinks will likely overturn Roe v. Wade. Are there 50 votes in the Senate to confirm Alito? Politpundit does the analysis and concludes,
That makes the roll call tally 50-54 votes in favor of this nomination. With the vice president's tie-breaking vote, confirmation is almost certainly assured.
Lucas Pillman writes,
One of the best thing about Alito is that he is on the record against Roe. If you are serious about the Constitution you have to be. No one doubts him on this issue. What this means?Confirm Them has posted various information on how he has ruled on various abortion cases. Here's his opinion on Planned Parenthood v. Casey, his opinion on a case dealing with tax-funded abortions, his bio and a prolife on him from USNews.... the biggest battle about Roe is probably about to take place. Now is the time to stand up for life if there ever has been a time in the last 20 years and save those who are innocently stuck in "death Roe."
Hugh Hewitt writes that the best way to preempt a filibuster is for the "nine Republicans thought lukewarm or hostile to the constitutional option to announce, early and often, that they will vote for the constitutional option if Democrats attempt a filibuster based upon ideology. "
It is critical that every nominee get an up or down vote. Hugh has phone numbers here and links to BeyondtheNews for activism tools.
Indeed, now is the time to preempt the filibuster.
