Bully Pulpit

The term "bully pulpit" stems from President Theodore Roosevelt's reference to the White House as a "bully pulpit," meaning a terrific platform from which to persuasively advocate an agenda. Roosevelt often used the word "bully" as an adjective meaning superb/wonderful. The Bully Pulpit features news, reasoned discourse, opinion and some humor.

Alito a Bad Choice

Winston-Salem Journal

Although the U.S. Senate is on the brink of confirming Judge Samuel Alito as an associate justice of the U.S. Supreme Court, the Journal cannot endorse that decision...

Alito will not be in the center, and he is not a mainstream conservative. He will join Justices Antonin Scalia and Clarence Thomas in a far-right bloc...

This is not to say that Alito is not a fine man and a brilliant lawyer. But he would take this country in directions that will not serve the American people well.
This gives me even more reason to like Alito. :-)
