Bush to Nominate Alito to Supreme Court - Yahoo! News

Bush to Nominate Alito to Supreme Court - Yahoo! News: "By RON FOURNIER, AP Political Writer 10 minutes ago

WASHINGTON -
President Bush will nominate Samuel Alito to the Supreme Court, rebounding from a stinging rebuke over his first choice by tapping a conservative federal judge to replace retiring Justice
Sandra Day O'Connor, a moderate.
ADVERTISEMENT

Bush plans to announce the nomination at 8 a.m. EST, two senior Republican officials said Monday.

The White House hopes the choice mends a rift in the Republican Party caused by his failed nomination of Harriet Miers, and puts his troubled presidency on a path to political recovery. But Democrats already put the White House on notice that a conservative judge such as Alito would create problems.

Miers bowed out last Thursday after three weeks of bruising criticism from members of Bush's own party who argued that the Texas lawyer and loyal Bush confidant had thin credentials on constitutional law and no proven record as a judicial conservative."
