Word gets around. I know she's dumb as rocks, but why would she go on a rant without knowing (or having some relative certainty) who it is?

I don't know anymore than you do, but given the rumors floating around...

Gosh, you are lying sack of manure, Howlin, and that makes me very suspicious of you. From the Washington Post, 11/8/04:

But the untold story of the 2004 election, according to national religious leaders and grass-roots activists, is that evangelical Christian groups were often more aggressive and sometimes better organized on the ground than the Bush campaign. The White House struggled to stay abreast of the Christian right and consulted with the movement's leaders in weekly conference calls. But in many respects, Christian activists led the charge that GOP operatives followed and capitalized upon.

In dozens of interviews since the election, grass-roots activists in Ohio, Michigan and Florida credited President Bush's chief political adviser, Karl Rove, with setting a clear goal that became a mantra among conservatives: To win, Bush had to draw 4 million more evangelicals to the polls than he did in 2000. But they also described a mobilization of evangelical Protestants and conservative Roman Catholics that took off under its own power. Care to tell any more lies, Howlin?

I think that is why he did not say anything about Gonzales for so long and when he did, he defended him.....he enjoyed seeing us freak out. I don't blame the guy. I would probably do some of the same stuff if I was president just to freak out folks for a little bit.

God, this thread is going faster than the Pope threads.

That's because I'm afraid Supreme Court Justices have become tantamount to American popes, and I think that's wrong.

It's gotta be a woman. Just imagine how indignant the folks over at NOW would be if it were another white male.

Given how far to the left the judiciary is, yes, you DO, if you are principled conservative, appoint a judge that will move the court to the right.

Did Clinton once fail to move the court to the left as far as he could? Why in world would you tolerate Bush not keeping his promise to move it to the right with Scalia-like justices?

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?

Not only is he not going to appoint a conservative, it is likely that he is going to appoint someone who will not only support Roe, but perform abortions right on the bench!

And also put us in prison camps.

OS: I'd like background on her too (preferably w/key decisions), if you've got it.
But, I don't need a picture of her. Not sure why I'd need one.

I don't mind the President doing it his way. I trust him. He has not let me down yet.

Hmmm. Thanks, that's very interesting. How many think this is a bait and switch? I'd love the President to come out and say, "Psyche!"

It could be ... or it could be neither Edith's ... *L*

Bush will keep his promise and motivate his base if he nominates Edith Hollan Jones. Why in the world shouldn't we expect someone that we KNOW is a Scalia-like originalist?
