Now that we need a new Supreme Court Justice, we are left with but one option.
Vote Pedro for Supreme Court Justice!
Because quoting Napoleon Dynamite makes us witty and original.

Well, there's no hiding now. President Bush's true colors will soon be shown. If he blows the nomination (or the GOP senators blow the
confirmation) the true conservatives of the country will never forgive him
and will turn their back on him for the next three years of his
administration.

This nation's public schools would be well served if Justice Pedro mandated statues of the Holy Santos in the hallways, for starters.

O'Connor's appointment in 1981 by President Ronald Reagan, quickly confirmed by the Senate, ended 191 years of male exclusivity on the high court.

Which only goes to show that women can screw up the Framer's intent of The Constitution as well as men can.

It is bigger than that. Real Americans worked hard to give the Repubs a majority to make critical things happen for this country. If the Repubs blow it, it will impact not only the future of WHAT THIS COUNTRY IS GOVERNMENT-WISE but what happens to us as citizens, our freedoms and liberties, that so many have sacrificed to preserve.

** IT IS NOW TIME TO STAND AND DELIVER REPUBS!!! **

As much as I would like to see Edith Hollan Jones get the nomination, I think it would be nearly impossible for the Democrats to argue against Brown with a straight face after declaring her fit for the Fed. Appeals court just a few weeks ago.

Too soon - I want her to be on the Federal court for at least a couple or years. Estrada.

Absolutely. O'Connor's type of mental breakdown is experienced in ALL sexes, races, & creeds.

This is too easy to predict. The Dems will never, EVER allow Bush to replace her with someone fair-minded. Her seat will go unfilled until a recess appointment in 2007. Until then, an eight justice, 4-4 court will fail to overturn most cases brought before it. As more justices retire, the court will become one of recess-appointed justices (unless the Senate gets 60 reliable Repubs).
