Thoughts on SC nominee Alito and Myers

Conservatives may have screwed this one up. We are now hearing stories about how Alito would probably not overturn Roe V. Wade. This is the biggest Supreme Court decision conservatives want overturned. I'm very certain that Myers would have overturned Roe V. Wade. I believe this was the primary reason Bush picked her. But Alito may give conservatives the fight they have been slobbering for, but he may be a huge dissappointment for them in the end. I'm hearing all kinds of conspiracy stuff coming out of conservatives mouths that I wouldn't have expected. Usually you hear that from liberals. Something seems amiss to me. Some say Miers was a rope-a-dope strategy. That Bush never expected her to make it to the hearings. I doubt that is right, but it's fun to ponder (but no more than ponder). I believe the venom from the right has forced Bush to give them the fight they want. My fear is that conservatives are allowing the wounds of the left to put them in a blood-fest mood. Well, I feel more like an observer now, rather than a hard-right conservative (which I am). It's a conservative's nature to be reactionary, not pro-active. I think we are headed to a major disappointment.
