One Step Forward...Alito Steps Backward...our country recedes????
Supreme Court Ch Ch Ch Ch Changes...turn and face the strain?
What are your feelings on "Women's Rights"? Roe vs. Wade? The Supreme Court? The retirement of Ms. O"Connor? The placement of Mr. Alito? Mrs. Alito's breakdown as Judge Alito was questioned by the Democratic party?
And finally...
What good or bad will befall us upon his appointment?
Add anything that is on your mind!

LixyChick,
Should Mr. Alito be confirmed, the court will become a bit more conservative.

Yep. One difficulty is that Federal judges hold their positions for life. I think we’ll be better off changing where they are nominated and confirmed.

What are your feelings on "Women's Rights"? jeepers that's a tricky, convoluted, multifaceted thing but i'll keep it short. since they needed to make it a law in the first place, then i believe they should have afforded men those same rights. if a woman knows who the father is, he needs to be notified. (of course, i realize that there is no way to tell if a woman is lying when she says she doesn't know but still, they left them (men) out of it completely.) i feel the same way about minors, parents should be notified. exceptions to both cases would be emergency life-saving situations
Roe vs. Wade? it still amazes me we actually needed a law.
The Supreme Court? it is a necessity, and an extremely important part of our govn’t.
The retirement of Ms. O"Connor? i wish she would have waited a few more years, but it’s her life.
The placement of Mr. Alito? only time will tell
Mrs. Alito's breakdown as Judge Alito was questioned by the Democratic party? boo-hoo. didn’t get much sympathy from me. buck up, lady.
And finally...
What good or bad will befall us upon his appointment? no clue. again, only time will tell

My feelings are that this is just another step towards the far religious right. My problem with this is simply that many of them feel that their beliefs should be the beliefs of everyone, and are taking steps to legislate it that way. My feelings on this are simple, if you feel something is wrong, don't do it. Don't make it illegal or try to control it.
But that's just me.

What are your feelings on "Women's Rights"? I think the biggest body of work left is in the workplace (inequalities in pay, opportunities for advancement, work/family flex, etc.)
Roe vs. Wade? I think it is legalized murder though I do believe there are circumstances where it should be permitted.
The Supreme Court? A generally wise institution.
The retirement of Ms. O'Connor? Good luck and long life to her. And many thanks for her service to our country.
The placement of Mr. Alito? Too early to tell yet.
Mrs. Alito's breakdown as Judge Alito was questioned by the Democratic party? She should have been prepared for the rough questioning her husband was going to get.
What good or bad will befall us upon his appointment? Too early to tell yet.
