So we are to support a consumate mediocrity to the Supreme Court because she owes Bush her place in history?

Is she going to call Bush before each vote and find out how he would rule?

Judging by Bush's positions on federalism, affirmative action, the bankruptcy reform act, I wouldn't want a Bush clone on the Court.

Nope. I thought I was clear that this vanity is about my being done spitting venom about what a disastrous nomination this was and trying to determine what kind of justice Miers will turn out to be in the end.

You know - - it's done, so deal with it. That kind of thing.
Reality.

So far President Bush's appointments to the appealate court etc. have shown excellent conservative jurists, 143 plus I believe. There's your track record. Stop listening to sound bites. Look at his record on judges!

"We voted Republicans in control of EVERYTHING. We shouldn't have to be listing hopeful reasons she'll be OK."

You are right. We need more justices like Ginsburg on the court. Someone with a firm belief in something. /sarcasm
