I would love to see Sheets fighting against Janice Rogers Brown...

The President leads a fragile coalition of conservatives held together for one reason: judges.

Exactly. It's the one thing about which we all agree. Judicial appointments are the non-negotiable bottom line. Nothing is more important. There can be compromise on other issues, but not on this one.

If the Democrats scream, obstruct, and act like a herd of donkeys, so much the better. We must put this through. If necessary, we must cut off a filibuster by changing the rules to disallow it--which is what the constitution calls for.

But the 'RATS are sinking their own ship. Their ideology only appeals to people living in densely populated urban areas. There are several states that voted for President Bush in 2000 and 2004 that have two 'RAT senators. Last year Republicans defeated the Senate Minority leader who was one of two 'RATS representing SD in the Senate. The senate is not apportioned according to population but by state with each state having two. I can see many more Daschles getting defeated in the future.

Six times smarter than the average member of the Senate Judiciary Committee. That's probably why they don't like him. They want Supreme Court Justices who are dumber than they are.

To whom?

The donks don't care what they look like as long as they get what they want.

Last week Rush made a great show of how stupid Kennedy looked reading questions he'd never seen before. Apparently his staffers came up with all his questions.

Have you heard one peep about Kennedy's gaffe from the MSM?

When was the last time we had a stealth nominee?

Senator Graham said, "If you question Judge Robert's Intelligence that is a question of yours. "

*****Senator Charles E. Grassley (R-IA), one of few non-lawyers to have served on the Senate Judiciary Committee, said that Judge John G. Roberts, Jr. is “six times” smarter than the average member of the Senate Judiciary Committee .****

Well I am no Einstein, but IMO I am six times smarter than most of them as well. Especially the Dems.

Thank you for NOT unnecessarily excerpting this article.

You were expecting a big expose entitled "Senator Reads Questions Written by Staffer"?

It's not news, unless you think "President Reads Speech Written by Speechwriter" is also news.

Can someone explain to me why some people take offense when articles are reposted? Many of the threads I find interesting during the day inevitably have some "search is your friend" comment in them. I don't spend the day searching through every post in the forum.

Did you see how pathetic Harry Reid looked reading his paper on why he'll vote no on Roberts, who needed no papers to answer three days of questioning going back 20 years?

Diane Sykes of the Seventh Circuit Court of Appeals would be a good choice. She is a former Wisconsin Supreme Court Associate Justice who was confirmed last year by a vote of 70 to 37, including 31 crossover Democrats. And at the age of 46, she would be there for quite a while.

Amoebas cannot serve on the Supreme Court.
