Bush just had the worst Presidential week since the emergence of the stain on Monica Lewinsky's dress, so why do I have a crushing headache this morning? Because of the looming fight over the Supreme Court nomination of Samuel "Scalito" Alito (as MSNBC's First Read has it). Right-wing Christian foamers such as the American Center for Law and Justice (a Christian-right anti-ACLU) and the anti-feminist Concerned Women for America love him -- that's all you need to know.
Let's be clear about this. There is no more right or wrong side, there is no moral high ground. This will be a matter of sheer power politics; it's going to be like a sumo match, with the two sides meeting head on. I'm sending $500 to People for the American Way and then covering my ears for the next two months.
