President Bush has chosen federal appeals court judge John G. Roberts Jr. as his nominee to the Supreme Court, a senior administration official says...
The President nominating Roberts is paving the way for J.R.B. was my first thought!
That's good ,....right?
It's awesome, it's beautiful.
Thanks for the ping. Just got home from a long day working. Trying to catch up reading this thread.
Increasingly, they are saying that let's go ahead and confirm Roberts in the fast lane and get back to sniping at KKKarl Rove. Unbelievable. They actually think that they will get anywhere with this dead horse Rove story. I vote to agree with them and confirm Roberts and get back to KKKarl! Go dems! You've got them by the balls this time! (snicker)
They are calling the KKKarl Rove scandal 'treasongate'. Then they hope the ACLU will bombard the media with fresh Abu Ghraib pictures.
What now, plaid boxer shorts on their heads? Couscous served at less than optimal temperature? A poor wine list? No quran racks in the shower? Maybe a lack of cable TV?
Oh yeah dems, YOU'VE GOT BUSH ON THE ROPES NOW. (snicker)
I think Bush has won back a lot of his traditional base with this nomination imho.
True, Borg. I'm still in shock that he didn't pick a woman.
BTW: Did you see Schumer on earlier? He looked like somebody stole his milk money.
LOL what a big baby.
>>The real question is: What are they saying over at DU??
One DUer wrote: "The country you knew is gone. What are you going to do about it."
And the next replied: "PM me...I have a question."
When I read that I couldn't handle anymore. That is one foul website.
From what I have seen of the guy, he looks like a solid pick.
That's good ,....right?
the nominee seemed to really relish defending The TRPA (Tahoe Regional Planning Authority) before the Supreme Court to keep a besieged widow from being completely stripped of her ability from even bringing a case into court to seek the ability to even build on her own property!!! (TRPA vs Suitum, I believe)
it sounds like he was against the besieged widow. if so, not good.
You're welcome, P.G.
What are you doing working? You mean you're not a rich, greedy conservative? :)
I'm liking his supporters. Lookin' good. Time to dig deep just to make sure.
Trust, but verify. The issue is too important not take that approach.
To answer your question, YES, I do think he changed his mind and took Gonzales off the short list because enough conservative groups and individuals sent the message that he was unacceptable.
why? what is there in his record that leads you to believe this?
There's an outside chance he could become a Kennedy ... same is true of almost any nominee.
see question above
My take is that he's not quite a Scalia, most likely a Rehnquist ... and that's not half bad.
a) see question above again. b) why are conservatives always willing to settle for less than they should & liberals never willing to compromise on anything?
He will. Janice Rogers Brown will be next. Right out of the D.C. Circuit just like Roberts.
