It’s Official: Alito It Is

Jeez, too bad there hasn’t been any news lately, huh? 2005 has certainly been a wild one. One business day after PlameGate indictments, two after the withdrawal of Harriet Miers, Bush goes back on the offensive by nominating a conservative favorite. More later…

UPDATE 8:25 a.m.: RINO Watering Hole declared!…

Michelle Malkin is all over it, of course, with links galore, and says: Experienced. Well-thought-of by conservative constitutional scholars. Not a diversity/crony pick. Young. This is a nominee the Right can get behind.

Don Surber has a trackback fest going, too…

   The battlefield has been cleared of the wounded-Meirs/Libby.

   (still would like to see a Rove demotion*, to bring in some fresh charismatic blood to speak for the party)

   *=his job is to advise the President and he still can, but it would also be wise to make an appearance of demotion/or shifting of responsiblities. C Boyden Gray!( as I have previously championed) would be the perfect guy to speak on alito’s behalf-and the GOP at large. Moving Rove publicly, but in reality changing his role very little, is a fair trade, and a good defensive move. They can act as if it never happened, but leak some rumors and let the press assume it did, and the WH is too embarrassed to discuss it.
