I could care less if a judge is "pro-life," I want a pro-states' rights judge.
No mention of my candidate: Janice Rogers Brown.
But the others sound excellent as well. I know that Priscilla Owen & Edith Jones would be awesome. I've never heard of Karen Williams, but if she's the most conservative, she'd be excellent.
I always get a flame or two when I post this link (It's the "feminist" part that alarms many FReepers) but I'm going to post it anyway: http://www.feministsforlife.org . Judge Roberts wife has served on the FFL board. I know that every FFL board member I've known, myself included, is a solid Republican. (Ann Coulter should take comfort in this fact, re Judge Roberts.)
Getting an outspokenly pro-Life Nominee through the Congressional gauntlet into the Supreme Court to fill O'Connor's seat will be like getting butter out of a wildcat's rump with a red-hot poker.
RINOS who might grudgingly accept Roberts will, I predict, turn on us in a heartbeat if that ever happens.
Count on a fillibuster, and the "Gang of 14" voting against cloture.
Borking has worked for the Commiocraps in the past - so why should they ever give up on it?
"She called Roe an "exercise of raw judicial power," and cited evidence McCorvey presented showing abortions hurt women. Jones, a Reagan nominee, wrote that the "[Supreme] Court's rulings have rendered basic abortion policy beyond the power of our legislative bodies.""
Wow. I can't see this happening, but if GWB were to nominate Jones, I would never criticize him again about anything.
I think he should start with Priscilla Owen. Then if the DumRats don't approve of her, he should go with the black Edith (I can't keep their names straight).

I want Edith Jones.
I'm Jonesing for Edith
(pardon the pun)
Edith Jones! Edith Jones! Edith Jones!
Of course, I love Janice Rogers Brown too.
I'm ignorant about the history of the SCOTUS. Was Justice Clarence Thomas the first black man on the Court?
Who is the YOUNGEST potential appointee?
