To replace O'Connor, do you think Bush would be more likely to nominate a woman?
i have no idea if he will feel beholden to replace like with like. that is a horrible trap to fall into, IMO, ie; the jewish seat, the woman's seat, the black seat etc. it then becomes like an affirmative action paradigm instead of a court.
They were interviewing Judge Edith Clement recently, under the radar conservative from the 5th Circuit.
15 years as a federal judge, solid, competent, not flamboyant in any way.
If GWB nominates a woman, that gotta be her.
