WASHINGTON (Reuters) - President George W. Bush will nominate on Monday U.S. federal appeals court judge Samuel Alito to the U.S. Supreme Court, replacing retiring Justice Sandra Day O'Connor, CNN reported.
Alito, 55, is sometimes given the nickname "Scalito" -- a comparison to Scalia, who shares his Italian heritage as well as his reputation for conservatism and a strong intellect. He is a judge on the 3rd U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in Philadelphia.
