Miers withdraws nomination

So, President Bush appointed White House Counsel Harriet Miers to the Supreme Court vacancy left by Sandra Day O'Connor, but she came under such fire that she withdrew her name from consideration. Now Samuel Alito, who is probably who Bush really wanted to appoint in the first place, is about to try and be confirmed by the Senate. What has me worried about all of this is that Alito has written when he was in the Office of the Solicitor General during his years in the Reagan White House that one of the first things that a conservative court should do is overturn Roe v. Wade! He, of course, has backtracked and said that it is being taken out of context by Democrats who do not want to see the Court go so far to the right. I think that this is a load of bullshit and that Alito is just another pawn in President Bush's game of Political Chess that we as a country are all losing as a result!
