President Bush's October 31 nomination of appellate court Judge Samuel A. Alito, Jr. to fill Sandra Day O'Connor's seat on the U.S. Supreme Court was regarded well by Washington, D.C., beltway conservatives, skeptically by constitutionalists, and conspiratorially by liberal Democrats.

Liberal talk-show host and comedienne Stephanie Miller dubbed the Alito nomination "Operation Look the Other Way," because Bush announced the nomination on the Monday after Lewis "Scooter" Libby, Vice President Cheney's chief of staff, was indicted on perjury and obstruction charges.
