The Left has been demanding that O'Connor be replaced with a moderate to 'maintain the balance.' That was BEFORE the Chief Justice passed away. Now we have that idiot Schumer suggesting the President ask O'Connor to remain and APPOINT HER CJ. Won't be long before the rest of the gang joins the chorus demanding that unless and until that is done, Roberts will be put on the back burner.

And what could the dems say? They would only show the world their true racist colors if they objected right now. That never stopped them before. Look at how the treated Colin Powell, Condi, Gonzales, Brown and of course, Thomas before all of them.
As long as the MSM gives them a bye, the Demons get to pat the head of Li'l Black Sambo and croon "stay on da plantation and eveything gonna be juss fahn."

You're right about the MSM. They cover up every despicable thing the dems do.

Bush has a tough choice here. I think O'Connell is the one with the gravitas to make it through.

You're a one issue SCOTUS nominee man. You just like her paper trail. The senators from my state will not. :) Elevating Scalia to make room for Garza or Jones would perhaps put to much chum in the water all at once. Thus my suggestion for O'Connell. Bush should also wait until Roberts is confirmed to nominate. Keep them guessing. I suspect Rehnquist held on to avoid just this contingency. He held on just long enough, since Bush can wait a month or so without making it seem unseemly.

I think you are right, except for this: What happens if the court has only 8 members for a while? Is there much precedent for that?

Sure. You just carry on. Other justices have died in the saddle. And Nixon had a devil of a time filling that one vacancy, as his first two picks hit the dust, Carswell, and then the dope smoker.

And oh yes, when Justice Douglas went gaga, for over a year, the other justices agreed that Douglas's vote would not be allowed to be the swing vote on any decision, which is the equivalent to a vacancy.

Reason I ask is there are clearly decisions coming up that the 2 new justices will decide: partial birth, campaign finance, and U of Michigan related potentially. If Bush's nominees get confirmed, good chance the conservative position prevails on all 3. If waiting, liberal position prevails or it is 4 to 4 whatever that means... chaos.

4-4 means the lower court decision stands.

James Brown would certainly be a different kind of Justice.

which is potentially a big problem, since with the new cjs, some would be reversed that would otherwise be upheld. I cannot see that not being a factor in this calculus.

What do I care what the he___the Left demands?! I couldn't care less. Bush can't nominate ANYONE to satisfy them and he shouldn't and more importantly, WHY would you even care what THEY want?. All they have to review on are his qualifications, but of course they have to go through the whining bit on political philosophy too regardless. I want Pickering,....to stick it to them good. If what I suggested would come to pass they'd ALL BE APOPLECTIC and more importantly make fools of themselves. Now, if you judge things from the perspective of the last two CLOSE Presidential elections, it's just possible that watching them go through their same old tired judicial demonRAT routine might disgust enough people to cost them dearly in the mid-term elections come next year. There are a lot of disgusted 'traditional' demonRATs who don't like the way the trend has been going in their party. Anyhow, that's MY reasoning with this.
