I beg to differ. Alberto Gonzalez is what I would call a "stealth" pro-lifer. J. Michael Luttig is a pro-lifer -- there's nothing "stealth" about him. And even the name of John Ashcroft has been mentioned.
Imagine a Supreme Court four years from now with John Paul Stevens, Ruth Bader Ginsburg and Sandra Day O'Connor retired -- and replaced by Gonzalez, Luttig and Ashcroft. Goodbye Roe v. Wade, and good riddance.
Ashcroft I don't think has the heaviosity, although he's been a prosecutor. One usually has to nominate either a judge to SCOTUS, or an ex-President. Which brings me to the wild-card possibility, that Dubya might nominate his daddy to the High Court. After all, President Taft wound up on the Supreme Court.
And Bush Senior is the original, wild-and-woolly RiNO. He was a RiNO before the acronym RiNO was invented -- a Rockefeller Republican, Skull and Bones, you name it. The liberals would love him, he'd be confirmed by acclamation. Remember, you heard it hear first. "In the dark!"
