Well, the guy is pro-life, so it's not exactly news. He will appoint what he believes to be pro-life judges and do what he can to get the law changed. This is the focus of much of the conservative movement.

Yeah, I'm with the posters above. This is not revealing surprizing or interesting. Flagged as noise.

You'd think he'd wait until after Alito got approved.

I guess getting rid of personal freedoms is what Bush meant by getting rid of activism in government.
