Wow...that was almost as short-lived as my career as a Supreme Court nominee!
I wonder if she flew to DC? That has got to stink if she did....then again it happened to Edith Jones back in 1992 when Souter got the nod.
Wouldn't it be interesting if Bush 41 had put Jones on and not Souter...then with Thomas...then in 2005 we would probably be saying that Bush a great conservative. But in retrospect, this one single, solitary appointment has rightfully tarnished his reputation forever.
The fact is unfortunately our system has become such that on the domestic front, at least as to the issues that greatly divide us, the only thing that matters is the USSC. What GWB does today will be BY FAR the most important factor in determining whether or not we elected someone who is a conservative as regards the domestic agenda.
Can any of you insiders convey that message to the powers that be?
Done. And done.
