Bush gets an A+ on his choosing as his new Supreme Court nominee, Samuel Alito:
So consistently conservative, Alito has been dubbed “Scalito” or “Scalia-lite” by some lawyers because his judicial philosophy invites comparisons to conservative Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia.
I like the philosophy of Antonin Scalia, so again, Bush gets an A+. He [...]

Lanny J. Davis, a special counsel to President Bill Clinton from 1996 to 1998, says this in regards to the Plames affair (via Instapundit):
… the Democrats are playing up the idea that White House officials may have endangered national security in playing hardball politics. Well, I can remember all the times I picked up the [...]

WILLisms has added a weekly Sunday feature called Pundit Roundtable. They asked me to participate this week so I did. I think that this Sunday Pundit Roundtable is a great idea, I hope it catches on. It is one more example of ways bloggers can give alternative perspectives to the MSM.
The Pundit Roundtable is [...]

The 2nd annual Liberty Film Festival (some background here), a new film festival dedicated to the work of conservatives and libertarians, was held last week in Hollywood, California.

Pennsylvania Senator Rick Santorum said in a recent speech on Compassionate Conservatism:
For all of the chatter about it during the last number of years it is still an emerging philosophy. It hasn’t ever been tried as a governing philosophy. From one end of Pennsylvania Avenue to the other, Republican passion for compassionate conservatism has waned [...]

With Harriet Miers withdrawing her nomination, President Bush has a chance to start again. At this point, this is the best outcome for Bush. He now has a clean slate. If he picks a good nominee, all will quickly be forgiven by most of the conservatives that disapproved of his last pick.

Social Security expert Peter Ferrara, a fellow at the Washington-based Free Enterprise Fund, says this (hat tip to my uncle in PA):
The Congressional Budget Office projects that under current law Federal spending as a percent of GDP will rise from 20% today to 34% by 2030.

The U.S. has 33,000 troops in South Korea. Doug Bandow argues at reasononline that we no longer need to keep them there:
But there’s no justification for maintaining U.S. troops in the ROK. The South lost most of its strategic value to America after the Cold War. The U.S. garrison performs no useful regional role. If [...]
