Unfortunately, I don't trust that Bush will nominate a truly conservative replacement. God help us!
In a perfect world, Bush would swear in the new Supreme Court Justice, Ann Coulter.
(Hey, a guy can dream.)
I believe he will, for three reasons:
(1) All the names floated over the past several weeks (with the possible exception of Gonzales) are solid conservatives.
(2) Bush and Rove know the devastating effects a moderate nomination would have on the morale of the Republican base.
(3) I believe the President himself wants the same thing we want. Pryor, Owens, Brown, Estrada, etc., were not just bones thrown our way. They represent Bush's own philosophy.
What has Pres Bush been nominating, why was he against Souter, and the list goes on -- will some of you stop it with the gloom and doom before anything happens. There must be a little black cloud hanging over this site recently.
