Bush to appoint "first" Hispanic (liberal) to the U.S. Supreme Court?

We were told how many times, and are continued to be told, that the reason it is so important that Bush is elected and that we blindly support his Administration, and not even to be permitted as conservatives to criticize his policies, is because of judges, because of who gets appointed to judgeships. Bush will probably have the opportunity to nominate and advance one Supreme Court judgeship. And in addition, his Administration will influence appointments to judgeships across the nation. And, of particular importance, the reason why we dare not, as reasonable patriots, criticize any policies of his Administration that betray conservatives, is because of that Supreme Court appointment, because if a Supreme Court judgeship is advanced by his Administration, this appointment will effect the course of our nation for many years, if not decades, to come. And so it is important that a conservative be appointed to this Court, and to courts across the nation. Bush will forward conservative nominees to the court.
He will?
Well, across the nation, that is not exactly happening. Maybe it started to happen, but it isnt anymore. In fact, if you look at the influence the Bush Administration has played, if at all, in nominations and appointments, they are often going to liberals, and especially to Hispanics (which invariable in the end turn out to be liberals as well) as part of the continued effort by his Administration and some Republicans to court the Latino-American vote, and other politically motivated nominations and appointments.
President Bush's efforts to promote Judge Charles W. Pickering Sr. to an appeals court post? President Bush's nomination of Jeffrey Sutton for a federal judgeship? So what. Sure, this made headlines by the phony liberal news acting as mouthpieces for the Democratic Party. What has made lesser news, is the liberals that were appointed to courts across the nation, in which the Bush Administration has either been, for political reasons, out of the picture, or even supported liberal judges. His Administration, and especially since the Trent Lott affair, is not trying to influence such appointments to promote conservative judges. And since the Lott affair, with even many conservatives supporting Lotts removal, you have seen a shift to the left to appease anyone who may call one a racist. As predicted, the left and the Democrats are now using the same spin that many conservatives have allowed them to use against Lott as an attack on other Republicans. It is now started even in regards to Reagan and his legacy, and the rewriting of his legacy Reagan supported States Rights in one of his speeches, thus he is a racist in heart like Lott or any other Republican who opposes Affirmative Action.
You see? But you did it to yourselves. And, it wont stop there, with Reagan.
They are on the phone right now, the coalitions, threatening Republican officials and officeholders with the same attack, they are working in conjunction with the phony liberal news, and they will, and are, influencing them behind the scenes. And, like I said, many of you conservatives, you did it to yourselves. This whole spin, this new weapon that you have handed to the enemy, they will use it, and use it well. They will use to effect any Supreme Court nominee. And, who is the Bush Administration now turning to for advise in judgeship nominations? The Log Cabin Republicans. Thats right. You dont believe me? Well, just watch the conservative talk shows, the truth will get out. You dont think the Lott affair, the concession in large part supported by conservatives to such P.C. speech control, will not only control political speech but also stage-manage who gets nominated to such appointments? It will. It is.
And, as far as a Supreme Court nominee? Bush is going to give us conservative judges? Right?
And, no one dare criticize Bush. Because of the Supreme Court judgeship. Its very important. That he or she be a conservative.
And then maybe Bush nominates a liberal.
He wont?
Well, on the Walter Williams show today, Walter said the word is out that the Bush Administration is seeking to appoint the first Hispanic to the Supreme Court. I dont know if this is exactly true not that the Bush Administration is thinking about doing this, because that is probably now very true, rather, if there has never been an Hispanic on the Supremes. Because, maybe there was only he or she didnt know it. But, it probably is true, the new Bush agenda as far as the Supremes are concerned. That, this will be their nominee.
Yeah, you say. A conservative Hispanic.
You think it will be a conservative Hispanic? What if it is not? And, it probably will not be. In fact, it likely will not be.
Its all about Bush we are told, pray for Bush, because Bush will appoint a conservative to the U.S. Supreme Court. And then he nominates, and forwards, a liberal.
But, dont be surprised. Dont say you didnt expect it. And if and when that happens, maybe you should think about the Trent Lott chess-move by the left. Pawn takes Knight.
Bush has now been in office for two years. When he first got into office, he spent a lot of time running around with Vicente Fox. In fact, he spent so much time running around with Vicente Fox of Mexico, that he wasnt interested in a whole lot of folks who were saying that Al Qaida and the Islamic Terrorists are going to hit the U.S. again, they definitely will try the World Trade Center again because they didnt finish the job the first time, and that our national security is at risk, that our borders are porous, illegal aliens, (lack of) INS enforcement, and crazy immigration policies are going to cost thousands of American lives. But, you know, cant deal with that because it might make some Hispanics mad at us.
And, with the Trent Lott affair, gosh, now we have to be even more diligent not about our borders, but about the possibility of insulting Hispanics. As Republicans, we have learned our lesson since Trent Lott. And the lesson is, its been two years of Bush, and our borders are porous, and we are going to be hit again. But that isnt the issue. The issue is, what can the Bush Administration, and Republicans, do about race relations? Gosh, maybe the answer is, what we are hearing the Bush Administration is probably going to do. What better way to build a legacy for the Bush Administration, than to appoint the an Hispanic to the U.S. Supreme Court? So what if he is even a liberal? Hey! I have an idea! The Bush Administration can setup a Palestinian State! Now, theres a legacy! Gosh, maybe the Palestinian State will get the nuclear bomb, like North Korea did under Clinton. Gosh, since the Palestinians glorify suicide bombers so much, maybe this Palestinian State will decide to become just one big Suicide Bomber State and blow itself up with its own nuclear bomb and thus take out a few neighbors like Israel in the process. After all, thats the whole idea anyway. Its isnt about a State. Its about killing all the Jews.
By the way. Hows our borders? Just wondering, because the same folks who want to kill all the Jews, they want to kill all the Americans as well. Death to the Jews, Death to America, they say. But that isnt hate speech. In fact, the liberals, the left, those who run our schools and universities, are showing a lot of solidarity with the struggle of the (you name it) people, who want to do this to us. But Trent Lott, now what he said, thats hate. And I guess a lot of conservatives went along with it. Gosh, maybe protecting our borders is now hate as well. Gosh, maybe a conservative judge for the U.S. Supreme Court is now hate as well. And, we sure learned our lesson. We wont do the same mistake, again.

Is Brian Baldwin an anti-Hispanic Conservative or an anti-Hispanic Liberal? Is stereotyping back in style? Are Moderate Republicans better or worse that a Conservative Democrats and which have more power in their respective parties? It's going to take longer than most people realize for Republicans to learn how to deal with success.

GOP MAJORITY - JANUARY
END OF THE 'BULL' OR END OF THE MATADOR
![](http://p.vtourist.com/512633.jpg)
GOP has to do 3 things. (1) Recover the economy (2) Don't screw up in the Near East and Far East (3) Appoint pro-life Judges.
There is no more 'Dashhole' to blame. The buck stops with President Bush.

To: Jimer
Is stereotyping back in style?Apparently it is.
Walter Williams is the one suggesting that Dubya's first consideration for the appointment is ethnic origin rather than actual qualification. Sure sounds like affirmative action to me.
To: deport
I want to see more action and less cow-towing to the PC crowd.
What is the scoop on these items near-and-dear to the hearts of millions of supporters who put Dubya where he is in the first place:
1. Banning partial-birth abortions?
2. Banning burning of the United States Flag?
3. Recognizing English as the official language of the United States?
4. Officially recognizing the heterosexual man/woman mairrage as the only legally recognized mairrage?
5. Getting control of the Mexican border?
6. Getting control of illegal immigration?
7. Keeping jobs in America?
8. Correcting the trade imbalance with China and Europe?
9. Securing our own petrolueum sources on American soil and freeing us from Islamic economic blackmail.
Many, many more Dubya has to fess up to.
We put him there for a reason.

Well, myself, I supported him because of national defense. He is doing a bang-up job on that. The rest of those issues (other than partial birth abortion ban) can wait a few months, IMHO.

"The rest of those issues (other than partial birth abortion ban) can wait a few months, IMHO." Well, if you looks at the "hair-thin" majority margin in the House and Senate if may be cause for caution.
What are we talking about here in terms of "a few months?"
2003? 2004?
When?

Shame what crap passes for vanities on FR these days. Bush makes history by dragging his party across the finish line in November in truly incredible fashion. We here on FR spent days, weeks, talking about how well the GOP did and how vindicated we felt that the Rats had been whipped. But idiots like this Billy Baldwin or whatever the posters name is, don't realize it is Bush and his, give an inch to the Rats, take a mile for the GOP strategy is what made our vicotry possible. Posters like this are the ones who like being in the minority.
