I hope this isn't true.

If Bush puts Gonzales on the SC then the liberals will have the majority for the foreseeable future. It would be a shame if Gonzales was approved.

If Bush thinks he has a fight to face in the Senate (and the big clue will be that the Dems will accept Gonzales with open arms) he has seen nothing yet.

I believe that enough of us realize that Gonzales would be a disaster for the conservative (or Constitutional) movement and that Bush would see the Senate lambasted by phone calls and faxes to vote the man down.

Bill Kristol is a major RINO.

I hope it isn't Gonzalez either!

This is NOT 20/20 hindsight, but the Republicans were fools to NOT use the nuclear option when they had the chance.

Not unless Bush and the Republicans want to make the biggest mistake since George HW Bush raised taxes. This would be even a bigger mistake, reminding the Republican base for decades that those running the Republican party were liars with no regard for their base.

Anyone have a summary of Gonzales' past decisions? Is he truly anti-Second Amendment?

[montag813]

Bush is a P.C. guy. Surely he realizes the "O'Connor Seat" is a designated "chick seat". Thus Gonzales does not apply. Bush must therefore nominate a woman. And there is no better, more fillibuster-proof woman in America than Janice Rogers-Brown.

I trust President Bush will come to the same conclusion.

As usual, Michelle is on the mark. No to Gonzales, Yes to a strict constructionist, original intent, I-believe-in-the 9th & 10 Amendments, limited view commerce and general welfare clauses, no-incorporation doctrine candidate. (How's that for a mouthful?)
