This morning, the current President nominated Samuel Alito the replace Sandra Day O'Connor on the US Supreme Court. Alito has been a judge for 15 years and has earned the nickname "Scalito" because many of his views are so similar to Justice Scalia. In one of his most outrageous decisions, he was the lone dissenting judge in overruling a Pennsylvania law requiring husbands to be notified before an abortion. Clearly, his nomination was meant to placate the religious right after the Miers decision. However, this is not going to be an easy confirmation process. In fact, Sen. Reid (D-NV) had said recently this is someone "who will cause problems". In a time when we celebrate the life and honor the work of civil rights pioneer Rosa Parks, this nomination is a HUGE step backwards.
