What would Reagan do?(Ann Coulter)

Ronald Reagan nominated O'Connor as an affirmative action pick as well as Anthony Kennedy after a protracted Bork (and Ginsberg) fight.

What would Reagan do?

He would probably thank Ann for being such a wonderful voice for Conservatism over the last several years. Then he might politely remind her that Judge Roberts' nomination has been endorsed by no less than the First Lady of Conservatism, Phyllis Schlafly.
And then, RR might turn to Miss Coulter, grin apologetically, and quip, "you know, Annie, it's not as easy as it may look to those not doing the pickin'. I myself consulted with all my advisors, Nancy, and God Himself...and I still nominated Anthony Kennedy!"

Oh Ann, considered this? Scalia Overview Born: March 11, 1936
John Glover Roberts, Jr. (born January 27, 1955)

Want to have to redo the Chief Justice in 5 years or 25 years? Are you all so sure of holding the Whitehouse in 2008 that you want to gamble with the Chief Justice postion

Reagan probably would have told Ann she's stuck on stupid with this continued Roberts caterwauling.

Thanks Stranger and thanks Ann. President Bush should be unwavering on three things: the War on Terror, judical appointments, and no tax increases. That he has gone on a spending binge and seems to be trying hard to rehabiltate the Clintoon are immaterial if he remains consistent on the other subjects. I am hoping for a REAL conservative for the remaining open seat. Janice Rogers Brown would be perfect.

I think her point is simply that, as shown with past 'unknown' appointments, one has been surprised at how they rule once on the court, Souter being the obvious example. When these appointments are so rare, it is safer to go with a known item, such as Scalia. I have been mighty impressed with Roberts through the hearings last week, but who knows what he'll actually do once he is on the court.

[RobFromGa]

Her position has been duly noted. We'll just have to wait and see how Roberts presides and rules, and who President Bush nominates next.

[perfect stranger]

LOL Thanks for thew post.

Another great column by Ann. Good points, she always uses humor to get her point across.

This may be one of the shortest Ann Coulter threads ever. And only a couple of pubbie koolaid-drinkers showed up. A couple of us are working on a theory that the GOP lemmings are pretending the problem doesn't exist by purposely ignoring conservative commentators who poke at Bush.

It seems Mark Steyn may even be next:
