The smear campaign from the democrats has already started.

"Democrats said that Alito may be "too radical for the American people.""

This is going to be fun to watch.
Blood on the floor for sure.
Will the Dem's finally realize they're a minority party and along for the ride?

I think I like this guy :P

From MSNBC:

On gun rights, Alito in 1996 was the only appeals judge to vote against upholding Congress’ authority to ban fully automatic machine guns. The Brady Campaign to Prevent Gun Violence sarcastically described “Machine Gun Sammy” as a “perfect Halloween pick.”

Alito had argued for greater state rights in reasoning that Congress had no authority to regulate private gun possession.

They hate the guy, I love the guy. This, from the Brady Campaign:


"MACHINE GUN SAMMY," A PERFECT HALLOWEEN PICK

For Immediate Release:
10-31-2005

Washington, D.C. - How could it have gone in any other direction, from a
White House that just gave blanket immunity to the gun industry, which
refuses to bar terrorists from buying guns, that broke a campaign promise
and put Uzis and AK-47s back on America's city streets, and insisted that
records of gun purchases be destroyed before the sun sets on them twice?

It had to be a Supreme Court pick that favors legal machine guns.

In 1996, Judge Samuel Alito was the sole judge who dissented from his Third
Circuit Court of Appeals colleagues when they upheld the authority of
Congress to ban fully automatic machine guns.

"Earth to Sammy - who needs legal machine guns?" asked Jim Brady, chair of
the Brady Campaign. "The Chicago mobsters of the 1930s would be giddy. But
the man I worked for, who gave us Sandra Day O'Connor and signed the 1986
machine gun ban, would be shaking his head."

"Judge Alito's ludicrous machine gun decision is bad enough. But it also
indicates that a Justice Ilito would attempt to prevent Congress from
passing other laws to protect Americans from gun violence," said Michael D.
Barnes, President of the Brady Campaign. "If Judge Alito had his way, the
federal machine gun ban would have been struck down as unconstitutional, and
the private possession of these weapons would have become legal."

= Laughable Brady comment ===========================

fight to prevent gun violence, the Brady Campaign, working

Chris, you're right...shouldn't it say:

"leading the fight to prevent gun ownership"?
