After Alito: The “Fifth Seat” Battle Begins

Washington DC (January 15, 2006) – With the Alito confirmation virtually secured, especially with today’s surprise endorsement of the Washington Post, the war for the SCOTUS majority continues.

Possible is the seat of the 85 year-old John Paul Stevens or the 72 year-old Ruth Bader Ginsburg.
