"Personally I don't think too much of people turning on Bush who has a solid Judicial record without actionable cause. But that's just me."
I have my reasons. For example, maybe Bush will appoint Elton John, or Elton John's boyfriend.
"Personally I'm curious why Bush is the primary target, rather than the seven that have been proven to stab us in the back."
If Bush picks a good one, then I'd expect those seven to get allergic. I hope he's more concerned about public pressure than that idiot senate.
"I'm also wondering about a conservative movement that holds no appreciation for a "rehnquist"."
Rehnquist publicly said he's opposed to impeachment. He's not even a Constitutionalist. And that belief of his, that he knows more than the Founding Fathers, was the reason why no witnesses appeared at the Impeachment Trial, why the Clintons were able to get away with Chinagate, and why Betty Currie's brother died without a single valid report about the timing of his death AND the beating. Renhquist failed his country and allowed the senate to speak out of turn and run the show.
"I favor a Thomas, someone that will question and possibly reverse prior decisions, but Rehnquist has been solid for decades."
I agree that there are worse candidates than Rehnquist. But he should have been removed from the bench. He was supposed to PRESIDE over the trial. Not be window dressing.
Why would you possibly posit that Bush would nominate Elton John or Elton John's boyfriend?
Where did that come from?
Complete nonsense that deserve no serious rebuttal.
If Bush picks a good one, then I'd expect those seven to get allergic. I hope he's more concerned about public pressure than that idiot senate.
I personally think NOW is the time for them to start itching. As to the latter, I am not interested in him being concerned about public pressure. As I stated, until and IF he violates his solid judicial record I give the President the benefit of the doubt that his position on the court is my own. Were this about spending, illegal immigration etc...his record would determine he not be granted the benfit of the doubt until action determined otherwise.
Impeachment? I look to the long record held by rehnquist and he's proven to be solidly in the Thomas/Scalia camp in rulings. That is my primary concern. I fault Congress for the impeachment proceedings. They did as they willed, rhenquist or no.
Elton John has long been considered as a possible nominee by the Bush administration. He is widely respected as a strict constructionist.
