Alito
Just a lovely fellow.
The thing is, Roe is the glue holding together the right-wing kooks that have kept Bush and other similar rethuglicans in power. Thus, Rove and other rethuglican strategists have to know that if Roe v Wade is overturned, their days in power are numbered. So why would they actually let it be overturned by appointing someone like Alito? Conceivably, they really WANT to ban abortions because they think it is the moral thing to do, but... naaah, nevermind.
The more likely scenario is Rove and company really don't care if Alito is confirmed or not (though they probably would prefer is he wasn't), this is just red meat to the right-wing and the shitstorm be will a conveient distraction from the Plame case and Iraq war lies.
