That's what I'm hoping but I fear it will be Gonzales
What makes you think it will be THEM having the insanity issues? LOL I'm gonna flip out just listening to the daily news nonsense.
Sounds good to me.
Look, we can argue all day. Remember there is a difference between an opinion and an agenda. I'm sure we both want the same results, I do not think we will get them. In the end we will see how the Bush-led GOP and the Senate fight. I say they cave at some point, maybe even in the initial nomination. When it is done, I'm sure we can then argue if it really is Bush's fault or just the weak Senators. I say there is plenty or blame and shame to go around. Again talk is cheap, Bush talked a big game with Estrada but wound up lacking.
Arlen Spector is an embarrassment! Why the hell would he think it important that he run to the microphones, that anyone gives a rip what he thinks on this?
Me too, but I think they will be carried out feet first as long as there is a Rep President in the WH.
"Gonzales is a mystery as well as Miguel Estrada. Just like Souter was a mystery, and conservatives rallied behind him while liberals fought.
We need a someone who has a record we could easily interpet. Bill Pryor perhaps."
Excellent point. It simply will not do to appoint someone just because it will be easy to have him confimed. The easier the confirmation, the more likely the nominee is to be a spineless, wishy-washy justice. (Otherwise, the Dims would oppose him.)
Not only should a proven track record be required, but ironclad assurances must be received in grillings in private meetings over just where the candidate stands on important constitutional issues.
If Mr. Bush doesn't have the guts to do this, we will reap the unpleasant harvest for years.
40 Republican senators voted to confirm Judge Bork, and only six voted against confirmation. That doesn't seem to prove that "many Republican senators" were adamantly opposed.
Where are the Dems?
It was Warren Rudmond who pushed Souter, not Sununu.
I say Ted Olsen. No senator in his right mind would strongly oppose a nominee who's wife was killed in 911.
"Actually your thoughts about McCain is brilliant"
Who me? Brilliant! Wow!
Thanks samantha, I was typing so fast and I was not thinking. Plus I got up from my desk and 400 posts have come and gone!
Specter does not look well.Cancer has gotten the best of him.
Just think of all the MSM whose 4 day weekend plans are totally screwed up..
chemo
I am thinking your same delicious thought...lol. Hoodwinked Rats. LOL-LOL-LOL.
Sort of. It would have to be someone who hasn't made any controversial remarks or writings, but is known to be a constructionist by some other method-- a total unknown, basicly.
