Samual Alito gets nominated to the bench

I think that it's in the Supreme Court nominee playbook that all Supreme Court nominees have to talk about the overwhelming reverence and awe that they experience the first time that they go to the court to argue a case. Oh, except for Harriet Miers, since she has never done that.

You can tell GWB has really been slapped down, now that he's nominated Absolutely The Most Qualified Nominee In The History Of The United States Supreme Court.

Is that the new Justice for the Defense Against the Black Arts?

Let's see how long he stays nominated...

Oh, I wish. That would be fun. Of course, we would all be terrified by Lord Voldemort's return, so maybe it wouldn't be that fun.

Oh, he'll get to the confirmation process. It'll be interesting to see how the filibuster process is going to work now after the agreement in the spring (that knocked "the nuclear option" off the table).
