Bush is a politician, nothing more. Bill Clinton at heart was more of a conservative.

So the question then is, if Clinton is more of a conservative at heart, how come his Supreme Court nominees were Ruth Bader Ginsburg and Steven Breyer? Because quite frankly, until we reign in judicial activism, the positions on legislative matters mean very little. The judges just impose what they want-- case in point, the Lawrence decision and the Massachusettes decision.

This is about much more than just abortion. This is about our entire system of government. And Bush wants to conserve the system of checks and balances including a restrained judiciary, and the Democrats want to install liberal activist judges who will impose the portions of their agenda that they can't get the public to support legislatively.

Anyone who thinks Clinton, at heart, was more of a conservative than Bush is missing the forest for the trees.
