As far as I can tell from searching high and low, Gore is the first one to use the phrase "in the mold of Scalia" WRT Bush's promised USSC nominations, using the phrase in a negative way.
President Bush instead promised to nominate sctrict constructionists. He also has praised both Scalia and Thomas. But I haven't found any instances where President Bush, even as Texas governor, used that phrase.
I thought it would be appropriate to remind people of exactly what George Bush said he would do, and what he has done.
