what about Ted Olson? i'd be happy with him and i believe he's a lawyer in private practice right now.
I don't believe the prez will "consent" to anything the D's have to say.
Why are these people in GB's house? Can't he feed them at Dennys or something?
I can't even see the sun any more with all of the Dems'/MSM's trial balloons. The best part: W is going to pick whoever he d*mn well wants to. Hehehehe....
Yes, Bush needs to be careful, Specter is definitely a master baiter.
Congressman Billybob would be a good choice.
There are plenty of fine potential nominees in academia and in private practice.
But this is all noise by the Democrats. Remember that one of their "knocks" against "Borked" DC Circuit nominee Miguel Estrada was that he didn't have judicial experience yet? (Never mind that he had stellar law school-, judicial clerkship-, Justice Dept., and private-practice experience.)
If the pool of SCOTUS nominees most feared by these Dems were instead academics and other non-judges, we'd be hearing them repeat now what they said in Borking Estrada: Oh, we need someone with solid on-the-bench experience, yes yes, harrrumph! instead of this disingenuous, Oh we need someone outside the legal monastery, hm yes harrumph!
Well, if we must...Robert Bork, Mark Levin, Laura Ingraham, Ann Coulter...
I would not be upset if he picked Fred Thompson.
Why? Ann Coulter or David Limbaugh would be just fine.
If they do go outside the judiciary, I think I should get nominated.
I don't have any problem with him selecting someone outside the judiciary. How about Mark Levin or Ann Coulter?
I'd rather have a non-lawyer who's commitment to upholding the Consitution has not been corrupted by law school and the legal profession.
I'd love to see a straight-thinking, conservative engineer be appointed.

There has been a very rare whimper, but he's not disappointed us yet.
It was this type of thinking that put Earl Warren on the court and lead to the start of the judicial tyranny that is still tearing the Republic apart. (Warren was a lawyer and prosecutor, but had never served as a judge.)
Because, this is nothing more and nothingless than good cop/bad cop. We're all getting screwed...but to us, it feels better when the pubs do it.
As long as the economy stays the same or grows moderately, we all feel something is really happening, while all the time, our rights are being eroded by those in power, be it pub or dem.
We drilling in anwar yet?
Smoke and mirrors.

I can't believe that sentence made it past the editors
Considering the fact that he doesn't have the brains of a big mouthed bass, it's hard to tell what bait he'll take!
