Wow, Alito sounds great. Too bad Bush will probably pick a woman.

It's a start. Is putting an anti-Roe justice on there a waste of time, since the makeup of the court would still just be 5-4 in favor instead of 6-3 in favor?

The Court ruled 7-2 that the Sedition Act of 1918, which it a criminal offense to criticize the U.S. federal government, did not violate the first amendment.

Putting a judge on there who supports the first amendment would be a pretty urgent matter, not because it'll tip the balance of the court, but because there aren't any openings to waste.

That would just make the second amendment situation worse, as it is a permanent mentality.
