You are not going to lead an exodus of conservatives to questionable third parties.

Second, FR a Republican cheering section? perhaps if you wish credibility you might want to amend that remark. Republicans are savaged quite often, never more so than in aftermath of the filibuster deal which the Majority strongly denounced.

IMO, I think what we have here isn't a Liberal Justice.

So what? Another "moderate" like O'Connor or Kennedy would be just as bad ESPECIALLY in light of the fact Bush promised to nominated a Scalia-like originalist and the that the Republicans have 55 seats in the Senate. There is no good reason not to appoint someone that has proven track record similar to Scalia or Clarence Thomas.

You need to take a time-out. Calling Laura Bush a 1st Lady from Hell is out of line.

Amen to that. I am not happy with George W and the prospect of another Pro-Abort Justice.

If George W. Bush wants to add to his enemies list, this is a good way for him to do it.

I'll definitely keep Judge Brown in mind when Ginsburg leaves the Court. If things go the way I hope, that will be the tipping point in bringing SCOTUS back to reality.

"...abortion can't be dealt with overnight..."

Roe v Wade was handed down overnight

Every journey of a 1000 steps must begin with puting one of your feet forward...not backward

Yes, I believe that John Sununu did pronounce Souter as "conservative."

Ok, but did a non-closeted homosexual ever say he was conservative?

Sorry, couldn't resist that one, Sununu always seemed rather fruity to me..

Isn't it just a little bit of a possibility that Bush knows where she personally stands on this important issue?

It's possible. But, Reagan thought he knew how O'Connor and Kennedy would vote, too.

Clinton, though, had proven paper trial when he appointed his judges and he didn't make a mistake.

I've noticed that. No track record = bad track record.

If she wants to kill unborn babies she in no good.

I know nothing about this "maybe" nominee. So perhaps you can help me out and show me in her writings, decisions, confirmation hearings, or public statements where she has said she "wants to kill unborn babies."

And one important fact that many people of all political and non-political stripes either ignore or just don't know is that overturning Roe will not make abortion illegal in the United States.

Your tag line marks you as a fringe nutjob who's foam-flecked rants are best ignored.

It would be just MEAN to start a rumor that Ann Coulter has cancelled an appearance on Hannity and Colmes, to be in Washington... wouldn't it?

It would be meaner to spread the rumor that Ann Coulter has cancelled an appearance on H&C to be in Washington.

;-)

You're apopletic!

iing How can you call her a moderate when she's a Southern republican who is Catholic and a member of the Federalist Society a/k/a "The Vast Right Wing Conpiracy."

I don't think folks like you would be happy with anything.

Samantha: If that's the nastiest comment you've ever seen on here, you must not get around much. It gets a lot hotter than that. Also, when referring to someone else's post, it's considered courteous to ping them as well.

Howlin: I don't think AMHN knows enough about your history to realize how much worse that comment was to make to you than to someone else.

AMHN: Ask Howlin privately if you want to know.

I tend to agree (I know that will make your day, right?) and am waiting to see what the President has to say tonight and if it is Clement, to see what her record tells us about her theory of jurisprudence.

That's totally untrue. When Clinton named Ginsberg and Breyer, they weren't Russian-Roulette picks. When Bush 41 nominated Thomas, he wasn't a Russian Roulette pick.

There are dozens of judges that are known originalists. With 55 Republicans in the Senate, why in the world isn't one being nominated?
