Rope A Dopes? Dopes on a Rope?

"It would be good to have some diversity," said Senator Specter, ...who said a nominee from outside the federal courts could bring new points of view and broader experience to the court than someone promoted from the federal bench.

I've been thinking and saying the same thing for many years.

Who says lawyers make the best judges and polititians?

Our best President was an actor.

Intelligence and a clear focus is a must.

David Horowitz is a good choice.

In their first meeting with President Bush over the Supreme Court vacancy, Democrats went so far Tuesday as to offer names for consideration

It's none of their business who Bush chooses. It doesn't matter who "they" want. The Constitution gives Bush the right to choose anyone he wants.
Wait it out and let them make fools out of themselves if we have to. The vacancies will pile up, and it'll be the democrats fault for getting in the way of the Constitution.

Hand them their rope, Bush. Do NOT screw up this lifetime opportunity to save this country!!

"I would really like for him to name another woman," Mrs. Bush, who was in South Africa, said in an interview on NBC's "Today" show. She added that she was certain her husband would "pick somebody who's really, really terrific."

Janice Rogers Brown??

There's a simple message I think we need to drill into the heads of every Republican we voted into office to represent us:

If we'd wanted justices on the Supreme Court that are acceptable to Democrats, we wouldn't have voted for Republicans!

The Republicans are in power for a purpose. If they betray that purpose, they won't stay in power long (nor should they).

Deep down, I think Bush is going to pick a moderate just to get him through the Senate. The Democrats will still tar and feather him and what we will get is a RINO with a chip on his shoulder. In the long run, conservatives will get less from this appointment than the Democrats will.

NEWSMAX has a "leaked" list of potential judges

Several officials familiar with the discussion said Judge Sonia Sotomayor of the 2nd Circuit Court of Appeals and Judge Ed Prado of the 5th Circuit Court of Appeals, both of whom are Hispanic, were among the names mentioned as Bush met with key lawmakers from both parties to discuss the first high court vacancy in 11 years.
