Some senators and members of the press are predicting a huge battle over Judge Alito's nomintion to replace Sandra Day O'Connor on the Supreme Court of the United States.
It hasn't happened yet and based on what some senators are saying in their press conferences, it looks like Alito will be on the Court.
News media sensationalism has really hit an all time high and the blame should go to the creation of 24/7/365 news channels. A small airplane wreck in a small town makes it to the nationally broadcast news these days. Gotta fill those 24 hours with something. Soon you'll see an in-depth investigative report on teenagers battling their principals over what they can wear to school.
"He like said like that you know I couldn't wear this cute tight short pants to school. It's like you know from like Abercrombie and like Fitch you know. Omigod I need to like channel with my homeys."
"Talking points: Godless children dressing like hookers in our schools and what we need to do about it!"
