I was clearly very wrong.

The new nominee is Samuel Alito. Read about his positions here. I'm really not going to get in to what's wrong with the view the the Family Medical Leave Act is unconstitutional in the scope of it's remedy (every parent, regardless of gender, gets 12 weeks of family or medical leave to take care of their young children) because there is so very much wrong with this view, so just think about it for yourself. To start with, ponder this: Why is it that an impartial reading of the original intent of the constitution (as done by judges of Alito's ilk) always seems to completely support the positions of the Republican Party at the time of said reading of original intent? Not the GOP of 30 years ago in the case of a current reading, not the GOP of today in the case of a 30 year old reading.
