This deal has Gonzalez nomination written all over it. Bush will come up with the excuse that he is the only nominee that Harry Reid will let through. Bush will further the damage his dad has done by nominating Souter.

Warren Rudman sold 41 a bill of goods, he's an evil man.

If Bush nominates Gonzalez and not a conservative justice to the USSC, the shiite is going to hit the fan.

You said..."This deal has Gonzalez nomination written all over it. Bush will come up with the excuse that he is the only nominee that Harry Reid will let through. Bush will further the damage his dad has done by nominating Souter."
I find it 'interesting' that Bush is now conspicuously absent from this fight. Bush could IMO effectively undermine this moderate power broker block of senators...if he chose to....using the bully pulpit....combined with a little righteous anger. He could further hurt these senators among the party base...as if they aren't damaged goods already.
Why wont he?
Polls have consistently shown us that Bush is perceived favorably by many in his personal qualities...even among moderate democrats. He won the election with sufficient plurality to claim a mandate. If you are going to spend political capital...why not for an important fight...CONSERVATIVE judicial appointees.
Is Bush's political capital to be spent on moderates...or on conservatives?
Time will tell what the game plan is.....
