that depends...will senator hatch be replaced by a democrat

He would definitely be replaced by another Republican. Frist would get to pick among the whole Senate Republican caucus for a replacement for Hatch on the Judiciary Committee. It would be our job as FReepers to help him make that selection. Who would we recommend and support?

Senator Orrin Hatch is a great American, a songwriter and a personal friend of Senator Edward Kennedy, and all you illegal downloaders are just running scared!

Actually it was to the body of your thread.

I would not like to see Orrin Hatch Chairman of the Judiciary Committee.

I do not want either Spectre or Hatch. Other than that I am open to suggestion.

Let's see. How about the next Dirty Harry movie with Don Knots replacing Clint Eastwood

It would be more entertaining than "The Dead Pool".

He is a lawyer, and was on the University of Pittsburgh Law Review back in 1959-1963 or so...(it's been so long since I've seen the plaque that I don't remember).

No - Pryor should be the one (the one the 'Rats filibustered from the federal bench last term and who was later recess appointed).

Just like naming Ashcroft AG after the 'Rats stole the MO Senate election for the widow, make them pay by moving him to an even higher and more important post.

BTW - the same should apply to the Supreme Court - Estrada should be a nominee (after Ted Olsen, whom Krauthammer named as the likely first choice on Fox last night).

That's not what I meant. If Hatch's leaving the Senate would give Frist and the Senate leadership a chance to appoint a more conservative (and less Ted Kennedy-compromised) senator on the Judiciary Committe, would that not be a good thing?

As a Utahn, let me add my voice:

No!

When I lived in Louisiana, I would have said no.

When I moved to Texas, I would have said no.

And now that I live in his state, let me reiterate that: NO!

I'll second that. In fact, I'll add some emphasis:

Not just no but HELL no!

...My nominee for attorney general is JOHN ASHCROFT...

Ditto that. I like Ashcroft. The dems hated him from day one and that ought to tell you that he was/is the right man for the job.

Don't forget the old saying, "Never count your Hatch before he chickens."

You're not thinking this through carefully enough, folks. Here are the three choices. Which do you prefer and why?

1. Hatch stays in the Senate and on the Judiciary Committee for at least two and possibly eight more years while as many as four SCOTUS positions open up.

2. Hatch stays in the Senate and on the Judiciary Committee as Committee Chair (with a wounded Specter nipping at his heels) for at least two and possibly eight more years while as many as four SCOTUS positions open up.

3. Hatch resigns from the Senate, takes over DOJ for at most four years and then retires completely from public life, leaving Frist to appoint an aggressively conservative senator to the Judiciary Committee in Hatch's place and giving the Utah governor an opportunity to appoint a more reliably conservative senator to complete Hatch's term. (and, no, I don't believe Leavitt is the right pick, but that's another story).
