The president was NEVER going to nominate Gonzales and only the politically naive and forever UNAPPEASEABLE thought he would. And Clement was a red herring.
You and the rest of the UNAPPEASEABLE purists are NEVER going to get it.
Oh and BTW...YOU had less than NOTHING whatsoever to do with the president's SCOTUS choice.
Reagan chose O'Connor; remember ?
Now, tell me again, just how "principled" Conservatives got President Bush to pick Roberts? ROTFLMSO
It's absolutely moronic to place one's trust in a politician rather than fighting for what one believes in.
But, we might be more appeased, if Bush and the Republicans actually did something to secure the borders and stopped spending money at a faster rate than any administration since the Johnson administration. And, we might be more appeased if we don't see any more incremental versions of the Hillary's health care plan like the Medicare prescription drug plan.
