"Cornyn is now believed to be the President's point person in the Senate to help measure the level of support for potential nominees. "He's the President's 'consultation' guy...""

I think that most/all Freepers will be happy with a Cornyn appointment to the SC. He is 100% ACU as a Senator.

93% to be more precise :). How old is he, BTW? Dubya shouldn't nominate anybody who is older than 55 (personally I'd even prefer somebody as young as Thomas was when GHWB nominated him).

My only hesitance with Cornyn - and this is a reach - is that he is more political than ideological. (Most ideologues will disagree with the ACU on at least one issue as to what defines a conservative stance.) I would have some tinge of fear that he could make a political decision that overturning Roe v. Wade could unsettle the current political alignment that favors Republicans. (Which would be a wrong decision, but who knows.) Sandra Day O'Connor *looked* very conservative, until she was in an unelected position.

But truthfully, short of Jones, Cornyn would be pretty darn good.
