Yeah, the Left would *never* plays games with their votes...Not!
For those with short memories, Senators Kennedy and Kerry voted *against* confirming Justice Souter. That was a ploy.
Don't be fooled by the same trick twice.

maybe bush really is trying to change the climate in D.C. Only problem is, it'll be one sided and short lived.
OK whatever. I'm sure nothing will happen in 13 years that will be of any consequence. I guess all the big court decisions are scheduled to happen beginning 14 years from now. I'm going to mark my calendar now.
The fact that he/she sees this as the 'FINAL' betrayal just shows that the person is a wingnut. Ignore them.
And where in Edith's statements has she said that in the constitution there's a statement about the guarantee to privacy insuring the right to abortion? She didn't say it and you're willfully misinterpreting what she did say.
She said she believes that the right to privacy is in the constitution.
She said the Supreme Court believes that this insures the right to an abortion. Do you see the difference?
Well, all news reports are saying that she said that Abortion is settled law. I am not someone who is a big Pro-Lifer by any means, but I believe in delivering on promises. I believe you deliver when millions have delivered for you. His party is in charge of the Congress, why in the Hell can't he deliver.
I have to admit I don't know anything about her.
At least we don't get Justice Howard Stern!
I tend to agree with you, but allow me to point out that the left always goes to Code Red (appropriately) standing for maximum outrage, no matter what Bush does. I don't think their reaction is a barometer anymore, since their main point is to block and frustrate whatever Bush does.
Why? Who did Bush appoint? You mean I've wasted all this time waiting for 9:00 ???? I could have break dancing!!
And at this point in time, abortion is settled law. She made that statement at the time of her nomination to the appeals court, and IN THE CONTEXT OF HER ROLE that was exactly right. Now you may not like the fact that she didn't follow that by giving her personal opinion of whether it should be settled law, but that's a different issue.
But she very pointedly did distinguish between her opinion and the supremes' opinions during the nomination process. To me that's a signal of a great mind at work.
Abortion is settled law until it's changed...
"Well, all news reports are saying"
Saying. Show printed proof. Actual documents and quotations. That is what I call legitimate evidence. Without evidence 2nd hand "he said" "she daid" is hearsay and rumor.
Well, I think his refusal to seal the borders, especially in light of London and Madrid is criminally negligent pandering for hispanic votes. I think his sell out to the Chinese is pretty obvious. Why hasn't he tried to grow the army? We have a glaringly too small army... the stress he has put on combat troops who are deployed every other week is pretty outrageous. His no-show act is grating. His refusal to speak to the American people and embrace us and remind us why we did all we could do for him. Why hasn't he tried to save rural America from the scourge of meth, why hasn't he, like Reagan did, support legislation, like Jessica's Law, to create a tough national standard against those who commit crimes against children? Why hasn't he co-opted the good work that Mike Huckabee is doing against childhood obesity? Why is he freaking absent and so damn insulated? He stopped talking to us, he got re-elected and now he just does whatever the Hell he wants to do-- face it, he's pretty much told us to go to Hell.
It seems to be universal conventional wisdom that she is pretty darn moderate and not at all a person with deep conservative convictions. So bascially Bush, if she is his choice, gave the Democrats their best case scenario. That's not what he said he would do....
I'm not misconstruing anything. I am simply pointing out that the Constitution does not include a statement re. the right to privacy, that is the result of a prior ill-fated SCOTUS ruling. Secondly Clement's statement that the "Supreme Court has clearly held that the right to privacy guaranteed by the Constitution includes the right to have an abortion" and that "the law is settled on in that regard". This is judicial activism at its worst, and why does precendence only apply to liberal left-wing rulings but not to conservative or constitional rulings.
Is that really how you're looking at this? So as long as Bush didn't nominate Jerry Springer, you're fine with it. WoW!! Bush didn't deliver to his base... he said he would and had the political muscle to do it-- just not the will. All in all, Bush sold out.

I've been seeing her picture on FNC all day, and she would make a terrific Betty Crocker. :-)
Seriously, hoping to see more of her background...
