And in this corner...

I suddenly feel the need to watch a Rocky movie, with the new pick for Justice on the SCOTUS. It has been widely speculated that this was going to be a knock down drag out fight to the finish to replace Sandra Day O'Connor, due to her seat being the swing vote in many cases that come before the court. I think this may be a knock down drag out fight for sure, but not in the mold that was originally perceived.

Personally I'll bide my time and watch this unfold, primarally because of the apparent divide in the conservative camp on the part of indiviuals who I frequestly go to for information.

Looking at statements made by Michelle Malkin, Bill Kristol, David Frum (via Malkin), Captain's Quarters, Public Advocate, and Cedarville's own Mark Smith this is not the best pick.

Malkin logs opnions from various conservative sources and Southern Appeal seems to sum it up best with"Are you fraking kidding me?!"

However, Hugh Hewitt looks at the situation from another angle as does Marvin Olasky

Sekulow and the ACLJ come out in support of the nomination

This very well could be a knock down, drag out fight from Right of Center. No matter who the pick is there will be liberal opposition just because the Left and the Media hate the President. Whoever gets caught in the middle, could come out bruised and battered even if it is ultimately in triumph...time will tell...

*Eye of the Tiger begins to play in the background...*

"Here's Rocky..."
