Needless to say I was take aback by this pronouncement and if Kristol has some sort of inside line at the White House and if this indeed the plan -- well... expletive, expletive and DOUBLE expletive.
First things first, we need a Constitutionalist in that seat, someone that will apply the Constitution and not make it up as he or she goes along. The problem is this --no one knows what Gonzalez will do. Souter part deux anyone?
Secondly, Clarence Thomas should be made Chief of this court. Perhaps under his control the court can be steered off of the fascist and ultimately destructive path it has been traveling down for some time. I would be fine with Scalia but I prefer Thomas.
I wonder of Kristol is being used to keep this test balloon afloat. Also, if KRISTOL says it's bad, doesn't that mean Gonzalez is being portrayed as slightly to the left of moderate (or being made to appear that way vis-a-vis KRISTOL'S criticism.)
