If George W. MORON had his way, Alito is not on the Court and ROE would remain law of the land!

Bush’s conservative backers had doubts about her ideological purity

This was back when real conservatives were still allowed to hold some power in the GOP. Bush and his minions have been purging them slowly over the past 20 years and there really aren't any left that could actually influence policy anymore. Just a few tokens that they let talk or showboat in front of the cameras to give the base the impression that the GOP still is conservative.

What an absolute disgrace that we were forced to support this complete moron!

Yep, W didn’t really want Alito on the court, but Roberts is his man.

2005 was Free Republic's finest hour.

Hard to believe it now in 2022, but destroying the Miers nomination and crushing the Bush-McCain Amnesty started right here on these pages.

The political energy and the passion were thrilling.

Any post that went up about Miers or Amnesty would get 100 comments within the first hour.

Yep, GWB tried to stick up with another Souter just like his dad did, but we caught on in time. Wishy Washy Roberts is bad enough (another GWB “gift”) but at least he’s on the right page about half the time.
