Uh, ok, you've stumped me. How and by what standard(s) is this a 'liberal' headline? And who's 'off the handle'', in any event?

Uh by your typical kneejerk frothing mouth reaction over an article.

Kneejerk? Hardly. Mr. Bush **could** have restated, in this speech, his role models for a nominee as famously mentioned during the campaign. Nowhere in this speech do we see 'constructionist', 'Scalia', 'Thomas', 'originalist' or other words of similar import. We see instead the squishy terms 'values' and 'proud of' and similar feel-goodisms.

Mr. Bush is widely known and respected as a man who says what he means. Fine, that's great. But if that is so, we're going to get another 'values' justice, a la O'Connor.

I'm just taking the man at his stated word, and given the words as stated, that's cause for fear of more of the same.
