I don’t know. I mean, he did what he was supposed to do, he nominated conservatives to the bench. That is a good thing, and it is a good thing that neither Gore nor Kerry is president. I suppose, I don’t think he deserves extra credit for doing the bear minimum that a GOP president ought to do. Don’t forget, if he had his way Harriet Miers would have been on the court.

bear minimum that a GOP president ought to do I heard his philosophy as it were after the 2000 elections was to always go for 50% + 1 for support. He is definitely governing that way and will not be doing anything many conservatives had hoped for.

Wonder how she would have fallen on PBA?

Interesting that the left completely misses the point; interesting, not surprising. The court is really saying that abortion is a legislative issue. The Constitution is silent on the matter. If nothing else, yesterdays decision and the comments by the Dems illuminate the fact they believe the Supreme Court Justices are indeed legislators.

“Don’t forget, if he had his way Harriet Miers would have been on the court.”

I still contend that this nomination was designed to wake the Conservatives up. It also opened up the door for Conservatives to sit out the 2006 election cycle.

In hindsight, if Bush puts up Alito instead of Miers, we might still have majorities in both houses.
