"Let's pray Bush has the sense to name Jones tonight. If he does, he will have an enthusiastic base behind him, which is something he really could use at this point of his Presidency."
Ditto that!

Ah, if the baby is already dead, then an abortion isn't taking place.

That's what the data says.
It wasn't from the people who sat home in 2000, no matter how many times they say it.

Anybody but a damn lawyer--their job is to mess up the law, not interpret it.

As a start partial birth abortion and abortion in the third trimester has to be stopped. Parental notification has to be established.
To: Oliver Optic
...we may find ourselves again trading nervous smiles and trying to reassure each other that she really is a conservative.EXACTLY!
It's so unnecessary, is all I'm saying. There's a surfeit of good, conservative jurists available to pick from that wouldn't cause movement conservatives to shuffle their feet nervously and instigate the outbreak of old intra-party hostilities.
To: Howlin
I'm gonna make a prediction that it will be Edith Jones or Michael Luttig. I'm glad he is making this a prime time nomination, that will give him a chance to tell the Senate what their Constitutional role is, and demand that they do it.
I don't know enough about Clement to know whether she would be another Souter or another Thomas.

Edith Bunker would probably get the DNC's enthusiastic support, at least.
To: Ol' Sparky
God, this thread is going faster than the Pope threads.
That tells us that things are a changing, and not for the better.
Impossible to read all the posts and make an intelligent, rational and erudite response.
Still, my support is for Edith Clement, a true paleoconservative.

a bit on Edith Jones
"Edith Hollan Jones
Edith Hollan Jones, 56, has been a judge on the U.S. Court of Appeals for the 5th Circuit in New Orleans since 1985, having been nominated by President Ronald Reagan.
Jones was born in Philadelphia. She graduated from Cornell University in 1971 and from the University of Texas Law School in 1974. She was in private practice in Houston for 11 years and specialized in bankruptcy law.
Known as a strong and outspoken conservative, she has written opinions that called into question the reasoning behind the Roe v. Wade abortion ruling, has been an advocate for speeding up death penalty executions, and is a vocal proponent of "moral values." She also wrote a 1997 opinion throwing out a federal ban on the possession of machine guns and has been an advocate for toughening bankruptcy laws.
In a recent interview with the American Enterprise Institute, she bemoaned the Senate treatment of several controversial appeals court nominees. "Nominees are accused very unfairly of things that they didn't do," she said. "For someone like Judge [Charles W.] Pickering to be called a racist is a vile lie. For someone like Judge [William] Pryor to be attacked on the basis that he is a Catholic and therefore cannot judge cases fairly strikes at the heart of the notion of religious tolerance in our society. And the character assassination of Priscilla Owen reached unconscionable bounds."

I will celebrate tonight and toast George W. Bush if this is true!I'm bookmarking that.
And I think it WILL be Jones.

Finally, I can depict what I think needs to happen in the Senate. Nothing a Gutta-percha walking stick won't fix. (it wasn't a club, it was a gutta-percha cane)

I don't know if it will be Clement or Jones, but I would bet a lot of money it's not Luttig.
To: Cyber Liberty
What the heck has that picture to do with the current discussion?
Am I missing something?

Hi! I just got back from the pool with my granddaughter.
Is there anything worth reading on this thread, or is it filled with the usual doom and gloomers ranting about how Bush isn't going to appoint a judge that is a perfect conservative?
