George Bush announced minutes ago that Judge Samuel Alito (someone beat me by a fraction of a second to post this on Wikipedia) was his next nomination for the Supreme Court. The article there is no doubt set to expand rapidly throughout the rest of the day, but at the time of this writing there is enough information there to prove that he isn't right for the job.
He voted to uphold a law that would prohibit a woman from having an abortion without first telling her husband.
Say what you want about the abortion issue. It's not really the point. In a country that at the moment respects a woman's right to have an abortion, this law, and the nomination of one who would support it, was a blow against feminism and equality, and it will not stand. More as the story unfolds.
