BTW, Who is "Hugh Hewitt"? Is this a local-yokel person? Should we really care what he/she says?

My dream is for Pres. Bush to nominate Ken Starr or even renominate Bork. IMHO, it won't happen, but it is nice to dream sometimes!

Oh man, it's going to be a long while on threads, CSPAN, making calls, emailing, discussion, debate, FReeps out and about...

It's good to be here.

Up to now, we have done nothing...let us start today.

Bush would never recess appoint a Supreme Court Justice. Nor should he. Nor should any President.

Tell that to Eisenhower:

On September 30, 1953, President Dwight D. Eisenhower nominated Warren Chief Justice of the United States under a recess appointment. The Senate confirmed the appointment on March 1, 1954.

I don't understand your correlation. I believe that GWB has stated that Souter was his father's worst mistake in office (and was only nominated as a favor someone on his staff). I think GWB will have his nominee thoroughly vetted to make sure he's conservative.

What candidates are anti-American?

I didn't know that President Bush has mentioned who his candidates are for SCOTUS....

Ashcroft is too old. How about Chief Justice Laura Ingraham?

Never mind, I was just picturing her in a robe, anyway.

Scalia or Thomas will probably get promoted

Thomas - and the Dems will go to town with all the reasons that a black male should NOT be Chief Justice. Jesse Helms lives! Go Dems! What a bunch of hypocrites!

Gonzales is not "anti-American."

You sound like a Bircher. Are you?

And so the real battles begin....

Yes, indeed. No more fakes, dodges, ploys to 'look good', etc - this is it.

I am still wondering why Turbin Head had such a sudden change of heart today.

May God bless us in the battles to come. This is everything! It is worth anyone's seat in the Senate. It is worth approval points. It is worth calling in every last favor. For the first time ever I wish I were in Washington right now to help somehow.
