what is your opinion of her?

I've read several of her opinions, and she seems pretty solid from what I can tell. Problem is, there's not a whole lot of info to work with. I'd like to see some stuff that she's written besides her writings from the bench.

It looks pretty certain that she's gonna be the nominee.

Specter's Staff Just Sent This Note Around The Senate:

"The October 4, 2001 confirmation hearing for Edith Clement is available full text online. See S.Hrg. 107-584, Pt. 1 on GPO Access http://www.access.gpo.gov/congress/senate/senate14ch107.html. This includes submissions to the record, any follow-up questions, and her questionnaire."

Also:
Associate Justice Edith Clement?

We are continuing to work on this and we have only two sources, but we regard them as credible, but our best information is that the President will appoint Edith Clement within the next forty-eight hours.

It is big deal that she is supported by a Democratic Senator from her home state. It's a huge red flag.

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!"

Okay, I'd like to hear him say Justice Janice Rogers Brown or Karl Rove.

The law from Mass that you showed does not even come close to making abortion a felony. It has to do with the UNLAWFUL administration of drugs and procedures that result in the death of the women.

Abortion is a lawful procedure so right off the bat it is not subject to the law.

Nice try though.

the only enforcement mechanism Roe really has is the FBI and federal military, and they answer to our President

The US Military can not be legally used for domestic law enforcement.

Well then ........ it should be somewhat more easy for those "sleuthful" reporters to keep an eye on the person making travel arrangements to D.C..

Not exhausting work to type,but if you check your vitals you are an emotional boilerplate which makes your adrenals push out those fight or fight hormones. You do this a lot I fear, and you do not realize it is happening. Over-reacting is symptomatic,please try to relax and be pragmatic today so you will be fit for a fight tomorrow.

Edith Jones would be a perfect pick that would keep the Republican party thriving as a majority party.

Thanks for taking the time to reply; in my almost seven years here, you're one of the few that just states the facts without the hyperbole. And, yes, I include myself in that lot.

I'm comfortable with her after reading that.

Well, since the President is going to announce someone to the FAR LEFT of Souter, they'll be changing those clouds to a sun and blue sky /sarcasm off

We don’t know much else about Edith Clement. What we do know means the President has attempted to address Democratic concerns about replacing O’Connor with someone like O’Connor. We also know that Clement’s background is more conservative than O’Connors. We also know that there is a political calculus on having a photogenic female judge without any harsh statements on file, the record of an enigma, and the family pedigree of a rock solid conservative pass through the Senate without the expenditure of an extrordinary amount of political capital.

This kind of thing is not reassuring. Has the whiff of Souter about it, it does.

It was an old number listed as a Rove contact, but not the one from the results.gov site, so just in case it was another number, I included it.

Then people wrote back saying they got the Situation Room. On another site, somebody said the girl who answered told her to call a different number. Apparently, the number got changed in the past couple years. :)

But, the number you have now is really Rove's office.
