No argument on that aspect of it. I was enjoying XpandTheEkonomy's choice words for O'Connor and hoping he'd have an equally tart and enjoyable description of RBG. She's a lot worse than O'Connor, even if Clinton knew it in advance.

I think he's right. Oconner was chosen because she was a woman. Ginsberg was chosen because she was as liberal a candidate as Clinton could easily get through the Senate under Orrin Hatch's watch without a huge fight, and happened to be a woman. With Bork and Thomas in recent past I hardly blame him. Is she worse than Oconner? Yes. But I can live with Ginsberg. She is at least honest, its traitors like Souter that really piss me off.

I have to give Papa Bush the most credit for his nominatation of Clarence Thomas.

He took a tremendous amount of heat even before the hearings began.

One of the best candidates who has suffered the most for daring to be himself and stick to his own principles.

My heart broke for him when the attacks were so untrue, ugly, and relentless.
