I just heard on WABC radio news that the candidates that President Bush is considering as U.S. Supreme Court nominees are John Roberts, J. Michael Luttig and possibly Attorney General Alberto R. Gonzales.
Alberto Gonzeles is not pro-life, which worries me.
"...They love abortion...."
Got that right!! And unfortunately, with this country divided as evenly as it is right now, IMO there is NO WAY Roe will be overturned, NO WAY...
My dad died a few years ago from cancer and I can remember one of the things he said about his disease... He said there was no doubt that there is a cure for cancer out there already, no doubt at all. But, there is SO MUCH financial liability equated to it in this country, that the news of a cure would need to come out of the Far East or someplace like that. There is too much at stake...
I think the same rings true in overturning Roe v. Wade, it may not be as much a financial liability as the other, but I think the overturning would create extreme consequence. Now, before anyone jumps ugly with me.... I'm 100% on the side of I don't care, extreme consequence or not, I want it overturned. I just don't think it ever will be regardless of who is on the SCOTUS...
I feel that pro-lifers have integrity and are basically honest, and will abide by the original Constitution. Of course, and sadly, it won't happen overnight.
Gonzales is against torture unless it was Terri Schiavo. Alberto Gonzalez cannot be trusted imo.
Gonzales is not pro-life.
IMHO
bush will nominate only judges that can be CONTROLLED.
Pro-Life, Pro-Abortion, Pro-NWO, - it doesn't matter.
It's about power.
and control
it doesnt matter, what does he think or ROE.
Do you know for a fact Rhenquist is pro-life?
I agree completely and in fact had this conversation earlier today. A "cure" would ruin the livlihoods of too many people.
The same is true about the abortion industry, even on the pro-life side.

Wow! those quotes are great! thanks for posting them. I didn't realize she was such a solid intellectual. I had suggested her for the scotus because it would make the Dems insane: how can they possibly oppose a black woman for the Court after they just voted her fit for the Court of Appeals? She's better than I thought.
I would want her for SCOTUS and chief SCOTUS if she were a white man.
The fact that she is a black women will, of course, cause coniptions on the left, an added bonus, but not any reason for Conservatives/Libertarians, who (supposedly) operate on the prinicples of equality and ability, to choose her over any other.
This, I think, is exactly how she would see it too.
The Washington Post called her a 'right wing' judicial activist in an editorial.
Good. It's about time.
We need to run Janice Rogers Brown for President. Those quotations read as if they had been uttered by Ronald Reagan.
---Con[s]idering all the Radicals appointed to the SCOTUS by Bush I, Reagan, Nixon and Eisenhower, it stands to reason Bush II will continue the tradition.---
I sadly but wholeheartedly concur. As in the original comments by Deep Throat to Woodward and Bernstein, if you want to understand this, "Follow the money." The abortion industry rakes in millions, is largely unregulated (one needs more permission to have a tonsil removed than a child exterminated), and we don't know what is done with the "byproducts of the process."
One day, a bright tort lawyer is going to make a ton of money suing those who offer this procedure in a mammoth class action suit.

She won't be confirmed without the nuke option, but she would be the best choice because there is not much out there.
And the Senate actually confirmed her with a majority (more than 60) (albeit after four years of heated debate). Yep, she's the one.
Chuck Baldwin, a pastor and columnist, slammed Gonzales, citing the Texas case and stating, "Gonzales is anything but pro-life." (excerpt)
In any event, Rehnquist will most likely resign at the end of this month, so it won't hurt to contact the president, and tell him to select a STRONG pro-life U.S. Supreme Court nominee.
This is our chance to EVENTUALLY overturn Roe.
Please do a search about Gonzales, and you will see what I mean.
