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.
