Within the last week Flavia Colgan and Bill Scher both wrote pieces here on the Huffington Post about the Alito nomination. They had significant disagreements, to say the least. So, we thought we'd bring them together on The Young Turks to have a live debate on the issue.

At the end of the debate, I'm still not sure where to come out on this. My instinct these days is to punish the Republicans for all they have done to this country, and hence, spitefully vote against Alito. On the other hand, I think Roe was decided incorrectly (great policy, just wrong from a judicial perspective). Also, Alito's opinions don't seem that extreme. On the third hand, how can you trust anyone who gets the enthusiastic support of Sam Brownback and James Dobson?

Alright, listen to the debate, and decide for yourselves.
