And it looks like Samuel Alito (a.k.a. Scalito) is headed for sure confirmation by the US Senate to the US Supreme Court's seat now occupied by Sandra Day O'Connor, the moderate conservative judge who's been so often the swing vote on a closely divided court.
Well, if he gets confirmed (likely) and Justice Kennedy doesn't feel compelled to take on the swing vote role more often because of the extremism of his colleagues on the right... (likely?) then we're headed for a few decades of Dark Ages-like rulings.
