[GoldwaterChick]

New thread ping -- he fooled them all!!!! They misunderestimated W again. Too bad, Ted, July 19 seems to be your unlucky date. My most memorable birthday ever.

[AFPhys]

I don't think Brown was robbed.

I think she is the perfect choice to replace Ginsberg when she leaves the USSC. By then she'll be well seasoned and know a few of the players who come up against the USSC arguing cases.

[prairiebreeze]

Agreed

[bannie]

Hey, my trophy bimbo objects to that!

teeeeheee...if she did, she'd be speaking for herself.

[defconw]

LOL I am highly offended that Mick Jagger still has the chutzpah to wear leather pants! My dad is 62 please!

[Fudd Fan]

One error of Bush's 'new tone' in DC was not cleaning house of Clinton people

BINGO!

[hoosiermama]

We should all celebrate this one ! Any family still in the state? Any other hoosier ties?

[processing please hold]

Happy Birthday!!!!!!!

Their children are adopted and his wife is an attorney.

U.S. President George W. Bush (2nd L) nominates federal appeals court judge John Roberts (L) to the Supreme Court in a televised address to the nation from the White House, July 19, 2005. Dancing in front of Bush is Roberts' son John. Also pictured are Roberts' wife Jane and daughter Josephine. President Bush chose conservative appeals court judge John Roberts on Tuesday as his first nominee to the Supreme Court, and called for the Senate to 'act promptly' in approving his nominee. (Kevin Lamarque/Reuters)

Kids! John's father was just nominated for the Justice of the Supreme Court and he is dancing while the President of the United States is speaking! ROFLOL!

Lord this is almost as good as election night. The DUmmies are giving up already!! LOL Once they find out the Rove thing is going nowhere, my god, they'll be throwing themselves off buildings or drinking koolaide. The next move needs to be for Luttig or JRBrown, and the elvation of Scalia or Thomas to CJ. We WILL get partial birth abortion overturned if not the whole thing.

[A Citizen Reporter]

This is from Teddy's statement:

"Justice O¹Connor set a high standard. She tried to bring the nation together, and she respected the Constitution. She was a mainstream conservative who used her ability and respect for the rule of law to find solutions that would strengthen us as a nation, as the Constitution intended.

"Mr. Roberts must demonstrate that he meets that standard before the American people, and he will have an opportunity to do so before the Senate Judiciary Committee before the coming weeks.

Does anybody know if the standard has ever been such that the nominee must respect the political beliefs of the person to whom they are replacing?

[AFPhys]

Specter will NOT block or support a delay of Roberts.

I'd bet 3:1 (or better) on that.

[concerned about politics]

New thread ping -- he fooled them all!!!!

The left was ready with protest signs, paperwork, and speeches to battle a woman appointee. Bush pulled the rug right out from under them! LOL. They had to protest with nothing!

[Salvation]

Roe Remains Intact With Bush Supreme Court Nominee John G.Roberts

[Timeout]

Mark "the great one" Levin, over at NRO's Bench Memos:

I understand Dick Durbin's original draft statement accused Roberts of being Pol Pot's lawyer.

ROTFLOL!

[Torie]

Good point about illuminating the entanglements. But I suspect the Dems will bail, most of them, when they preceive what you do. Going down for the cause, taking casualties, just isn't in it for most of the time servers. They are more into focus groups. They are more into longevity, for longevity's sake.

[JustaCowgirl]

That is absolutely hilarious. That little boy will always be remembered as the kid who danced in front of the POTUS while his father was being nominated for the Supreme Court.

[Fudd Fan]

LOL! I don't think anyone would like to see their dad in leather pants, regardless of his age! hehe

[prairiebreeze]

What a cute picture! And the President just keeps talking, never misses a beat and is most likely amused.
