This is a good article and it recognizes the reality within which we have to operate. Although the country is not going to be nearly as conservative as I would like it to be, it is going to be less liberal than those in the Rat party would like to see. Half a loaf is better than none.
Neither one of the Bush's are as conservative as was Reagan, but at least Bush the younger is more conservative than was Poppy. We should be pragmatic and take advantage of our opportunities and look at the bright side.
I do wish, however, that Bush had nominated a younger woman, so that she could hold down the spot for a longer time.
Reagan put Kennedy and O'Connor on the Court.
Roberts and Meirs will be much better than those two.
That is the only demonstrably valid concern I have seen expressed – not that no other concerns may turn out to be valid but we do not know – that being said, I heard that her mother was 93 an doing fairly well, so she may be around longer than we think.
I couldn't believe how fast without facts on her, the right acted like the left. Presumptions running wild especially here at FR. I hope FReepers in the future will put facts together first and foremost before acting like wild animals on an eating frenzy. Shame on you...looking like DU'ers is ridiculous. Trust W, he really knows what he's doing. He learned hard lessons from his father's choice of souter.
Without a doubt W knows this women and she'll not change her conservative stance. She'll vote according to the organic Constitution.
