Who did Schumer, Leahy, and Reid suggest...Barbara Streisand or Michael Moore? Consulting with evildoers who hate your guts is stupid.
Steve was my congressman, back in Tulsa. In fact, that was his campaign slogan ... "Steve Largent ... I'm your Congressman!"
He's a dear man and would make a fine Justice, in my opinion. He ran one of the all-time room-temperature campaigns for governor, but that's irrelevant here :-).
She also has one additional advantage over both judges and senators: she's been living in the real world without the privileged status that judges and senators enjoy
Thanks. I'm of the opinion that we'll need the 2nd Amendment most, in the next 10 years. (At least, I'm of that opinion late at night ... during the day, I'm less extreme :-).
How about Kay Bailey Hutchinson?
I'm standing by my preference for Brown and Luttig to replace O'Connor and Rehnquist, and the order isn't important. Either one would be stupendous as Chief Justice, or as Associate.
Ciao for now!....and greetings to The Lady Mary!

i STRONGLY believe that Supreme Court and other justices should NOT be atnys at all.
They need to be much closer to the people and much more familiar with life as man in the street.
There are wise, fair, knowledgeable people in all walks of life.
I think atnys should be limited in congress and the courts to less than 40% of their percentage of the population.
I'd love to see Dr Laura as a Supreme Court judge. Wheee!
know what you mean!!!!
I do think that if we get another liberal justice (and I'm willing to give him a chance to show his stripes before I conclude he's a liberal), then the Republicans will be voted out in 2006. If the Dems run the show after that, the conservatives will be riding them hard, and will make them wish they were in the minority.
I really think that if this nominee is going to have any significant influence on the Court, he's going to have to come either from the judiciary, academia, or he'll have to be a top litigator, either with government or a private firm.
Politicians like Hutchinson tend to be compromisers, and won't put their own mark on the Court.
I don't know the man personally but I've seen him at church quite a few times and our church is so conservative that we make Baptists look like pagans.
I think our President saw all of his "guests" for what they were. The Leader of the Senate as his ally and the other three for the traitorous, empty-suites that they are.
LOL!
