Bush Nominates Judge Alito

Finally, Bush has the common sense to nominate an actual judge to the Supreme Court. He has been a judge on the 3rd U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals since 1990. So he seems pretty qualified. He seems to be against abortion though:

In the early 1990s, Alito was the lone dissenter in Planned v. Casey, a case in which the 3rd Circuit struck down a Pennsylvania law that included a provision requiring women seeking abortions to notify their spouses.

It should be the kind of fight that the Republicans are looking for. A rumble over a conservative Court pick. Whatever this pick's fortunes are I think that even though abortion is made illegal in the US people will end up going to Canada to get them. Demand will always go to where the supply is. Here is a pic of Alito and Bush:
