Now is the time for pro-lifers to call the White House comment line (202-456-1111), send faxes (202-456-2461) and send e-mails (president@whitehouse.gov), asking the president to pick a STRONG pro-life judicial nominee. We could also write letters to editors to religioius and secular newspapers, asking others to do the same.

Calling pro-life, conservative talk shows would help, as well.

"Information" comes from a wash compsot article.

Pure spin and irrelevancy.

heard on WABC radio news

Was their source a European re-typed memo? or was it from Abilene?

Conidering all the Radicals appointed to the SCOTUS by Bush I, Reagan, Nixon and Eisenhower, it stands to reason Bush II will continue the tradition.

You are basing your opinion on a decision he made based on the law. I do not have a clue if he is pro choice or pro life.

[The Ghost of FReepers Past]

I agree with you and everything, but we will have Civil War II before liberals will give up their "right" to kill unborn children. It's what they live for.

The only sure thing about who is selected to fill any vacancy on the court is the fact that he/she will continue the tradition of maximizing the damage to America.

My personal choice would be Janice Rogers Brown for SCOTUS and even chief SCOTUS:

Private property, already an endangered species in California, is now entirely extinct in San Francisco.
- CA Justice Janice Rogers Brown

Some things are apparent. Where government moves in, community retreats, civil society disintegrates and our ability to control our own destiny atrophies. The result is: families under siege; war in the streets; unapologetic expropriation of property; the precipitous decline of the rule of law; the rapid rise of corruption; the loss of civility and the triumph of deceit. The result is a debased, debauched culture which finds moral depravity entertaining and virtue contemptible.
- CA Justice Janice Rogers Brown

We no longer find slavery abhorrent. We embrace it. We demand more. Big government is not just the opiate of the masses. It is the opiate. The drug of choice for multinational corporations and single moms; for regulated industries and rugged Midwestern farmers and militant senior citizens.
- CA Justice Janice Rogers Brown

The quixotic desire to do good, be universally fair and make everybody happy is understandable. Indeed, the majority's zeal is more than a little endearing. There is only one problem with this approach. We are a court.
- CA Justice Janice Rogers Brown

Government is the only enterprise in the world which expands in size when its failures increase.
- CA Justice Janice Rogers Brown

The public school system is already so beleaguered by bureaucracy; so cowed by the demands of due process; so overwhelmed with faddish curricula that its educational purpose is almost an afterthought.
- CA Justice Janice Rogers Brown

As the Specter endorsement indicated, pro-politics trumps pro-life. However we can hope that, at the moment-of-truth, President Bush will choose a confirmed pro-lifer.

[WhiteGuy]

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

You got this from whom, the ratmedia? And the President called the ratmedia in and said "Ok listen up, I'm going to tell YOU my good friends in the media my possible picks for the court. I've decided to bypass conservatives."
BTW you forgot to mention the hottest rumored name: Lawrence Tribe.

[Know your rights]

This is being discussed in the News forum: http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/news/1425923/posts

As far as I'm concerned, Bush's choice for a SCOTUS vacancy will make him either a hero or a villain in my mind. Reagan and Bush I could at least claim ignorance on some of their picks. David Souter seemed like an unknown quantity and Sandra Gay O'Connor has obviously been worn down by left and is not the same person she was when she was elevated.

With the Clinton administration, the extent and gravity of the culture war has been laid out quite clearly for all to see. For Bush II to nominate a pro-abortionist to SCOTUS would be an inexcusable betrayal.

[demkicker]

If Bush choses a pro choice judge, he may as well roll the red carpet out for Hillary next election. That action alone will tear the Republican party to shreds. I know he doesn't pay attention to polls, but surely he's not that stupid.
