CNN is reporting that Samuel Alito from the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Third Circuit will be the new nominee you can read more about at the Soctusblog. Judge Alito was appointed to the Third Circuit by 41. He is a favorite of conservatives and looks like he shouldn't be too distasteful for democrats. Will probably be able to be affirmed without too much trouble. Not nearly as controversial a nominee as we could have seen. In his 15 years on the bench he has a conservative bent and a well documented judicial philosophy. We'll see.
UPDATE: I need to clarify my assessment now that I have had a chance to read a little more about Mr. Alito. He ia "Conservative Whacko" that will move the court dangerously close to nothing more than a cabal of evil men who think women should have never gotten the right to vote much less think they have no right to be able to control their own bodies. We should consider fighting this nomination.
