WEB-EXCLUSIVE COMMENTARY

Nov. 17, 2005 - This January, at Super Bowl time, we're going to
witness a battle for the ages here. But it won't be like a football
game, because neither side will win.
For two Supreme Court nominations in a row-John Roberts and Harriet
Miers-the country avoided a brutal debate over the role of the court
on issues such as abortion, civil rights and race. At first glance, I
thought the choice of Judge Samuel Alito Jr. would make it three
peaceable outcomes in a row. He was qualified (as Miers, who withdrew,
was not) and modest (as Roberts, who was confirmed, seems to be).
I was wrong.

Yep, the 'rats will ruin this country before they lets the Republicans run it.
Alito is an excellent choice, and the 'rats are bound to stop him. 'rats are
bad for this country.
