No one was surprised when Clinton nominated a liberal, but they act so shocked that Bus nominated a conservative. Go figure.


Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg's hearing responses were extolled by both sides of the panel.

Rush made a good point about this today.

He pointed out Ginsburg gave detailed answers to those issues/cases in which she had already gone on record, either through writing about the case in question or commenting on it in public.

So she was offering no new information during her confirmation hearings by regurgitating her already-published positions.

And on the flip side, she offered no opinion on cases/issues on which she had no track record of already having done so, hence the "Ginsburg Rule".

The committee's minority Democrats, mindful of Bush's stated admiration for arch-conservative Justices Clarence Thomas and Antonin Scalia, suspect that the president has found their stealth equivalent in Roberts. But they lack conclusive evidence.

Objective reporting?

Ginsburg should not have been confirmed. If the Democrats can play games with a distinguished lawyer and Contstitutional expert like Judge Roberts, I see no reason why the Republicans should have confirmed Ginsburg. She should have been kept out on ideological grounds.

Did she answer any abortion questions? I do not think the 'bold'(ahem!) republicans even asked her a question along that line.

"Bush's stated admiration for arch-conservative Justices Clarence Thomas and Antonin Scalia"

Arch-conservative, that a new one to me.
