Bring It

I've read differing views about how hard the Democrats are going to fight Alito, but I told Mr. Can't before the retirement of O'Conner that the next fight would make Anita Hill look like a low-budget soap opera. I stand by that now.

This is the fight I expected over Roberts, but since he was replacing Rehnquist, the Dems didn't really see the need. They let him slide, like a batter watches the first fastball go by and glares at the pitcher with a "now bring it" look. And Bush blinked and threw the curve. But the conservatives were having none of it. Welcome to the fray Judge Alito.

I was prompted to think about this when I saw this on Powerline:

Far-left groups like People for the American Way, NARAL, etc. have raised tens of millions of dollars to oppose President Bush's judicial nominations. While I don't think it is clear that Senate Democrats have to fight Alito's nomination to the death, there is no doubt that the left-wing pressure groups do. They decided, for the most part, to take a pass on John Roberts' nomination, and are still sitting on the huge war chest their partisans contributed to fight Republican judges.

Man, this is going to be fun. We are going to get to see the far-left wackos at their absolute wackiest. Bring it on.
