In anticipation of what the White House hopes will be December confirmation hearings, Democratic lawmakers braced themselves for battle as a chorus of hallelujahs rang out from the religious right. "This is a needlessly provocative nomination," said ranking Senate Judiciary Committee Democrat Patrick Leahy (search) of Vermont. "Instead of uniting the country through his choice, the president has chosen to reward one faction of his party at the risk of dividing the country." "Any nominee who so worries the radical left is worthy of serious consideration," countered James Dobson, founder of Focus on the Family. Within hours of the president's nomination, Senate Majority Leader Bill Frist (search) began pushing for confirmation hearings to be held before the Senate adjourns for its winter recess. "I wanted to formally welcome the judge to a process that will play out here over the next several days and next several weeks as we work up to an up-or-down vote for this outstanding nominee," Frist said during a morning photo-op with Alito. "Over a period of the next several weeks, we will gather the papers for, have hearings and then move toward that up-or-down vote on the floor of the Senate."foxnews.com God, save the babies............................... .
