President Bush had a twinkle in his eye and was quite feisty today at the news conference. I think he will nominate somebody conservative, but not conservative enough for a lot of people here. Lindsay Graham was on Fox today and said Bush has gotten the green light from some very liberal members of congress. Because of this, I'm not feeling the 'warm and fuzzies' about who he'll nominate. I certainly hope I'm wrong.
I so hope you're wrong.
Graham also said the the nominee is a conservative...a solid conservative to be exact...whatever that means..
We worked our a$$es off so that we could "get a green light" from the liberals in Congress. If this is a consensus nominee I will have the dry heaves for a week (or two).
"I certainly hope I'm wrong."
I hope you're wrong too. :-D
Normally I'd worry about the democrats cooperating, but they're really between a rock and a hard place here. If they filibuster, they WILL face the constitutional option. So if it's true that they'll be somewhat less antagonistic, it could be because they really have no choice.
I will not allow the words or opinions of a bunch of leftists sway my opinion on the matter. I will base it on the nominee's bio. :-)
Could it be Linsey Graham himself? He's been putting himself forward for it. And I think tapping a current senator would make it a LOT harder for the senate to put it a fuss.
Why is it that Bill Clinton can name the most far left-wing justices imaginable with little resistance but a Republican President can't do the same thing>
Breaking the promise to appoint a Scalia-like originalist is not excusable or forgiveable, whenever that fact becomes known.
