I think he was confirmed to the court he's on now unanimously. That shoudl give conservatives pause about how reliable he is.

With this nomination, President Bush has given to the left-wing moonbats all of the rope with which they will use to hang themselves. Go for it Chuck Schumer, Ted Kennedy, Dick Durbin. I'll just sit back and laugh.

Bush made a shrewd choice, and I think he'll be confirmed with less fuss than many predicted.

"And did the Chief Justice delay his retirement to welcome a protege to the court. Has a sitting justice ever welcomed a former clerk to the court?"

Naming Rehnquist's former SCOTUS clerk to the SCOTUS to join Rehnquist himself...must have added a year of life into Rehnquist's account.

The burden is on a nominee to the Supreme Court to prove that he is worthy, not on the Senate to prove that he is unworthy.

Vintage Chuckie. Vintage adolescent liberalism: "You have to prove your case to me or it doesn't count and oh, by the way, nothing you can say will be sufficient." Take a hike, Chuck.

He just can't do it. It would be a violation of legal ethics as those type cases will come up again before him.

This tidbit of information doesn't bother me. Once the Democrats know that he's going to have a vote, it's often not in their favor to vote against him. Those in swing states have to be especially careful not to appear to be voting against every presidential nominee.

In the Judiciary Committee. For the Confirmation vote they didn't bother with a roll call.

Based on previous writings and rulings I think he'll be right about all three of those.

And Scalia was confirmed 98-0... That must mean he is a closet liberal, just waiting to screw us over! [/sarcasm]

Get a life, you moron! I am so tired of all of you who have to go through life just waiting for something bad to happen!

Face it: the president you love to hate did exactly what he said he would do from the beginning - nominated a strong, conservative constitutionalist in the mold of Scalia and Thomas. So go peddle your Bush-hating somewhere else; I am fed up!
