The question before the House today is: Have we passed the point where "patient Sufferance" is no longer required? I believe we are at the precipice - whether GWB appoints someone to ensure Roe v. Wade remains the Law of the Land for another 30 years, I fear, will answer that question. Our first King George never DREAMED of killing 90 million Americans.

Think about the result of a revolution. Remember what Ben Franklin said when the Declaration of Independence was signed.

Thanks for your concern - ever since "take your ball and go home" I've felt the love . . .

Go ahead, Babs, act like a bunch of loons. You'll just end up making the American people turn against you even more.

[griffin]

maybe you do shrieking and crying in your letters to your political REPRESENTATIVES. I do not. There is a reason the description representatives is used. Also, public servants.

Guess what? They can't read minds. Make you desires known! Duh.

Calling me a liar? That's pretty strong words, but the lesser courts are pretty much irrelevant. Let's just see what Bush does with this one, but I'm betting Gonzales is the man. Bush has already come out fighting for poor ol' Gonzales, and I think we all can agree Bush is pretty well unmoveable once he's made his mind up.

"It means a minimum of 5,000 women a year will die. So all options are on the table," she said.

How ridiculous. From what I understand it was never close to that many.

If 44 million innocent babies turned into hamburger isn't worth fighting about, I don't know what is.

If they want a fight, let's give them one. No other position is defensible.

"It means a minimum of 5,000 women a year will die. So all options are on the table," This of course is utter BS.

Bernard Nathanson admitted that they made the stats up out of thin air. The media were willing accomplices.

[Digger]

If he nominates Gonzales, I will gladly agree with you and join a third party - Constitution Party, anyone

I sure hope that this president understands what you have stated because I guarantee my wife & I would leave. I also see that if this happens & he does nothing on illegal immigration the Hildabeast will be the next president.

[clawrence3]

Let's pray it does not get to that . . .

[clawrence3]

Given how many generations have been brainwashed with the CHOICE to abort, I would not be surprised if it is even more than 5,000 per year - the logical comparison, however, would be to the number of dead babies through abortion.

I only know what I've read about him, and it appears many on the right are concerned Gonzales is not a strict Constitutionalist. For example, he has stated Roe Vs. Wade is settled law. Would he overturn some of the recent Supreme Court atrocities? Many on the right believe he wouldn't.

It sure seems to me Bush is gearing up to nominate his friend. All I hope for is a strict believe in the Constitution. It protects us all--liberal and conservative. If we get another "living Constitution" judge, I fear all is lost. You know, if the Supremes simply acted as judges instead of legislators, we wouldn't have this frenzied battle over nominees. Yes, maybe each side would lose battles at the federal level, but we'd all be able to have diversity at the state level. To me, that's the beauty of our nation, but we are a LONG LONG way from federalism now.

BTW, I will be the first to apologize if Bush doesn't let us conservatives down.
