Mini Scalia. According to the NYT, the leading candidate for nominatation to the S.Ct. is Judge Samuel A. Alito Jr. of the US Court of Appeals for the Third Circuit. Here is a profile that paints Alito as a mini-Scalia. Expect a bruising Senate battle if this nomination is made, however, the guy is highly qualified and less of a dick than Scalia or Bork so he'd get confirmed IMHO. 10-29-2005. Add CommentPermalink
