Pirro sits on court fence (Pub won't commit to support Alito)

Republican Senate hopeful Jeanine Pirro refused yesterday to back President Bush's selection of Samuel Alito for the Supreme Court, in part because of Alito's past anti-abortion views.

The refusal by Pirro, who backs abortion rights, drew a quick condemnation from state Conservative Party leader Mike Long, whose support Pirro has been aggressively seeking.

"I'm assuming Jeanine supported Bush for president and, therefore, she should be out front supporting the president's nominee for the Supreme Court — because we know Hillary Clinton is going to vote 'no,' " Long said.

Pirro, the outgoing Westchester district attorney, wants to "wait and see the Senate confirmation hearings" before making up her mind on Alito, said spokeswoman Andrea Tantaros.

That it allows the Republican leadership to vote for these judges. A vote for Pirro is a vote for Janice Rogers Brown and Michael Luttig. When we make the Senate Democratic, we can block all of Bush's nominees in committee. However, do not tell the Conservative Party this, we need them to run their own extremist whackjob to take away votes. I would like to have an activist "Christian" in the mold of Falwall challenge her

hate Hillary with a passion......I now refer to Pirro as Hillary light, that ought to make their head explode. I say why switch we know we have a good Senator.
