Bush needs to understand that, after the disastrous Republican appointments of Souter, O'Connor and Stevens, conservatives are in no mood for "compromise", or a "moderating voice on the Court."
The fact that liberals from Harry Reid to Juan Williams are grinning over the prospect of a Gonzales appointment should be reason enough for Bush to keep him as far away from The Supreme Court as possible.
Those dems may regret a Gonzales. He could pull a Souter on them and move to the right once sworn in.
