Mark Lavin YES...Gonzales NO.
Karl Rove isn't going to allow Bush to kill his conservative base, and his legacy, by appointing even a single "moderate" to the U.S. Supreme Court.
Surely President George W. Bush is going to appoint the best constitutional woman available to replace O'Connor. Then, when Rehnquist retires, he'll nominate the finest strict constructionist male available. If Stevens and Ginsberg follow suit and bail out, President Bush has the opportunity to completely wipe out the seven decades of socialism on the Supreme Court which FDR initiated.
George W. Bush has the votes and the nuclear option to confirm the best constitutional conservatives possible. He's not going to blow the Republican Party's base to smithereens in a futile attempt to appease nuts like Schumer, Biden, Leahy, Byrd, Kennedy, and the ever shrinking minority they represent.
He's just not going to do it ! Tell me, PLEASE .......he's not going to do it, is he ?
