Are you kidding? A dingbat on the SC? (We already have Ruth Bader Ginsburg and one dingbat is enough)

Before Tuesday's cabinet meeting, President Bush told reporters that the short list of nominees to fill his second Supreme Court vacancy was wide open. With a smile toward the journalists present, he announced that he therefore welcomed wide media speculation, especially about Attorney General Alberto Gonzales. What a kidder.
And what a difference a devastating hurricane makes. Two months ago, the White House met speculation over the president's first pick with antagonism. The president himself moved to quell talk about his friend the attorney general in threatening tones. But the president knew his audience. Journalists are particularly eager over Gonzales talk, mostly because they sense that conservatives do not share their enthusiasm. They've got that right. The fact is that not one conservative leader I know supports a Gonzales nomination. Those who publicly say they do are not telling the truth. They either are Texas friends or are fearful of losing White House access and fund-raising support....

Ping for your thoughts.
Janice Rogers Brown. She was confirmed not that long ago. She is a minority. She is a woman. She is conservative.
She would be the best candidate to cause the constitutional option.
I can see it now!
Judge Andrew Napolitano!
Ann Coulter, just because it would make several liberals' heads explode.
Janice Rogers Brown.
My Vote!
Agreed. Plus it would enrage the Loony Left! I like seeing them go ballistic! haha.
What happened to Edith Clement?
I nominate 'Buckhead'! ;^)
Thoughtful analysis without ranting.
Nah, too soft on terrorists and illegals.
RUSH LIMBAUGH, OR ANN COULTER.......
THEY would give Congress and Earfull!
Guess Manuel Miranda has the same aversion to her that I do :-)
I guess then Bush will just have to appoint Hispanics. The Blacks can listen to that Keyes rapper...... /sarc off.
Janice Rogers Brown.....
Wont be JRB. She was fillibustered for 4 years and painted as the most deranged right-wing whacko by the Dems. They would just pull out all the old, tired arguements why they need to stop her again. Long fight. Big mess. If its a woman, my guess would be one of the Ediths. My hope would be Luttig. My nightmare scenario is W's buddy Gonzo, but I don't think that will come to pass. If he ever does get the nod, it will be to fill Ginsberg's or Powell's seat.
