the Supreme Court is the end game. it is much more a determinant of what becomes of our society than any elected officeholder who can be booted out after their term is up. the havoc that a lifetime appointee to the Sup Ct can wreak is considerable and that is why halfway or GOOD ENOUGH, is not GOOD ENOUGH. this is what it is all about right here.

I agree with that. But there are some who will NEVER be happy because NOBODY is conservative/constitutionalist/originalist for them. In other words, a perpetual state of dissatisfaction.

If President Bush appoints a stinker, then I will complain. Until then, I think it is only fair to give the President a chance to put his nominee forward. Everything else is just premature carping and vague threats.
