George Stephanopoulos joined the growing left-wing chorus this morning, pushing for the Supreme Court nomination of Alberto Gonzales on his weekly Sunday show.
In a cleverly worded question to Newt Gingrich, Stephanopoulos asked if it would be better for George W. Bush to go ahead and nominate Gonzales for the O'Connor seat, or appoint and appease the conservatives with a "hardliner" now, and appoint Gonzales at a later date.
Cokie Roberts and Walter Dellinger, the other two panelists on the Stephanopoulos show whose liberal voices were necessary to balance out Gingrich, both pushed for either Gonzales or a nominee who has held elective office. Cokie Roberts liked the idea of Elizabeth Dole, probably because she is an aging "moderate".
MoveOn.Org can save themselves a lot of advertising money by pulling all of their TV ads. The network talking heads are carrying the water for the advancement of a liberal agenda and, as usual, it's very transparent.
W has never watched a Sunday talk show in his life....He doesn't give a fig what they say..
I have come to believe that Janice Rogers Brown is the answer. She is fillibuster proof, because she was just confirmed. Democrats would not be able justify "extraordinary cicumstances", having just confirmed her weeks earlier. Plus it opens up another nomination to the DC circuit court.
Whatever cry-baby George says--do the opposite.
Ha, you mean George Stephanopoulos, the impartial journalist who also used to be the right - or left, I suppose - hand man for President Billy Jeff.
He's a credible and non-partisn newsman,...NOT!
If George Steponallofus likes Gonzales, that's a good reason not to like him.
By the way, great screen name. I've been a fan of the Gray Ghost for a long time.
The reason Ford admired that is because he hadn't much of any mind.
Yes, the Gray Ghost and his boys knew what was at stake 145 years ago.
In fact, this thread illustrates what losing hath wrought.
Can you say, "Kiss of death"? I knew you could.....
I have a perhaps inappropriate question. If Specter does't win this battle he's going thru with cancer and has to resign or he passes on .. who becomes Chairman of the Judiciary Committee? We would hope, of course, that Specter does well in this fight for his life, whether or not he continues in the Senate.
However, if there's to be another vacancy or two before the '06 elections, and if there's any real possibility of the GOP losing control of the Senate in those elections, and if Specter is not chairing Judiciary, I am very intersted in who would be heading up those hearings.
Teddy is the PICTURE of Dorian Grey. The real Teddy is out somewhere living it up with young babes.
Liberal Hispania is NOT going to like Garza. He is more conservative than Scalia.
The Ford wing of the Republican Party is still around. Just look at Warner.
Ford was secretly a Democrat. The guy was a lib on every single issue. No surprise he gave us a far left SC judge.
No, Ford was a liberal Democrat, just like Nixon.
Fortunately, most hispanics are conservative when it comes to social issues.
throw in pro illegal immigration/amnesty and what have you got? a liberal...
