This Time, Conservative Reaction is Supremely Positive
The same conservatives who blasted Harriet Miers as a possible Supreme Court judge are welcoming President Bush's nomination of Samuel Alito, who is today's burstiest person among bloggers (ranking behind only Harry Potter).
Alito's nomination also consumes 25 of today's top 40 blog posts, with reactions ranging from Think Progress' crstyal-ball examination of America's future with Alito on the bench to PoliPundit's number-crunching about Alito's chances of being voted in or out. PowerLine bloggers are tallying votes, too.
A BlogPulse trend graph shows that Harriet Miers captured much more intense discussion throughout her brief nomination period:
Alito Analysis
The Volokh Conspiracy looks at the influence of religion (that is, Catholicism) on the Supreme Court, Blue Mass.
