I notice that the Times simply assumes that the nominee will be a woman. Maybe so, but I'm sick and tired of all this affirmative action nonsense.
I doubt whether anyone who really knows what is in the President's mind would talk to the New York Times. This is either speculation or propaganda meant to put pressure on Bush and his advisers.
We need to appoint a good, strong, pro-life, strict constructionist, who can be trusted to remain conservative for the rest of his or her life. That means someone who has strong values and enough intelligence not to be wooed by the left-wing press with promises of nice writeups and invitations to trendy cocktail parties with the intellectual elite if only they will change their views.
This second appointment is just as important as the first. We need TWO strong judges, preferably three if another opening appears.
I agree. Do you really think John Roberts is strong pro-life ?
