SCALITOVISION 2005 — Part 2

Yesterday, I introduced my new Scalitovision 2005 series at The Reaction. Part 1 is here.

And here — for your continued pleasure — is Part 2.

Please feel free to add your comments. I’m always impressed with the readership here at TMV and I’d like to know what you all think.

Highlights:

• Conservatives are happy again, reuniting behind the nomination;
• Some liberals have resorted to name-calling, but there are also some serious and justifiable reservations about Alito;
• Moderates are listening to both sides and withholding judgment; and
• Some of the more thoughtful conservatives in the blogosphere have given us skeptics much food for thought.

More to follow, but I want to mention that Alexandra at All Things Beautiful, a really good right-of-center blog, has this post on joining forces on Scalitovision. It’s our attempt to reach out beyond the usual echo chambers of the blogosphere and to encourage a civilized discussion of the Alito nomination (and hopefully other issues that divide us so deeply). Whatever our disagreements — I’m withholding judgment on Alito, but I’m not terribly happy with his nomination — there’s no reason not to respect each other out here.
