Judge Samuel Alito

President Bush has shown that he trusts us (the new media, the conservative movement, his base, etc.) by nominating a qualified and controversial conservative to the Supreme Court. He trusts that we will fight the good fight and help carry the day. It is our turn to justify that trust.

For those of you that are bloggers, please don't forget about this battle and get distracted by other issues after today. Blog about Alito tomorrow and the next day, etc. Blog in favor of Alito every day until he is confirmed. The MSM/DNC is already working overtime to plan strategy to derail this nomination.

We have to be prepared to:

(1) explain, promote and defend Alito's writings and opinions;

(2) anticipate the obligatory leftist accusations - racist/sexist/capitalist etc.

This effort will take constant work over the next few weeks.

But it will pay off over the next 20 years.
