I'll pick people who one, can do the job; people who are honest, people who are bright; and people who will strictly interpret the Constitution and not use the bench to legislate from. That's what I campaigned on, and that's what I'm going to do."
President George Bush- Wed. July 6,2005
so , on his birthday , does W get a pass on tellin' the truth or is it more important to him today? We'll all remember , correct-a-mundo??
I hope & pray as much. I think GWB is good for his word. he has taken a lot of heat on a lot of things, so I appreciate your having quoted the President on this matter.
Gonzales is undoubtedly in the position where he can do the most good for the country and the President alerady, as Atty. General. I don't disparage his character, I just think he'd likely be another swing Justice at best, who'd render a number of non-originalist, Activist, non-coservative opinions on the USSC.
