the plight of the oppressed than
Richard Gere's gerbil?!

ALF?
Not really. He was being mentioned as a good candidate in the mainstream press (I heard two separate talking head interviews, one on the radio and one on TV) that said he was an ideal candidate, because of his clear intellectual gifts and lack of an attackable track record while on the bench. The conservative media was fixated on more "recognizable", clearly right-wing (and more controversial) candidates, so he wasn't mentioned as much in those circles.
"all things being equal," she would still favor a woman
Either Janic Rogers Brown
Or Priscilla Owens would be fine with me.
Definitely NOT Gonzales!
Ownes or Brown would be Roberts Redux. Though it would be fun to watch the Dems do their tapdance around their Preferred Weapons of Choice: Racism, Sexism, Affirmative Action!
Jack.
Isn't that similar to the remarks that got James Watt in trouble under Reagan?
A country song, mocking PC, that I hope to write someday:
"I'm a Gay Black Mormon Biker, and I vote Republican!"
Cheers!
I don't want any diversity at all in his picks for Supreme Court. I want all originalists, and nothing else. I want all Scalia/Thomas clones. If Scalia and Thomas could have children, those are the ones I want on the bench.
Janice Rogers Brown IS a strict constructionist.
Who are Jewish?
"Consuelo Maria Callahan
Federal Judicial Service:
U. S. Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit
Nominated by George W. Bush on February 12, 2003, to a seat vacated by Ferdinand F. Fernandez; Confirmed by the Senate on May 22, 2003, and received commission on May 28, 2003. "
I am sure the libs out in Kalifornia loved this appointment.
Too bloody right. Diversity is NOT a qualification for the Supreme Court. This PC crap makes me puke. Drive the Dems over the cliff. Appoint another Scalia.
Isn't that similar to the remarks that got James Watt in trouble under Reagan?
I believe Watt made a passing reference to "Two Jews and a cripple", grey_whiskers.
President Bush moninating either Janice Brown or Priscilla Owens would throw the Dems into conniptions. While revealing their hypocricy as an added bonus.

Diversity and 'balance' my patoot. Dubya should follow the "Clinton Standard" and appoint who the 'heck' he wants. That's what Willard did with that PERVERT commie crone Ginsberg as she replaced a conservative. I don't recall any screams for "maintaining balance" then, so screw it, put Luttig on the court and be done with it. The senate rats can go pound sand.

Ginsburg and Breyer
I think it is either Emilio Garza (5th Circuit) or Karen Williams (4th Circuit), either of whom would be excellent.
And just in case the Whitehouse is lurking, No Gonzales.
There is a big boom for Karen Williams on the online betting sites now. She may be the perfect candidate (a limited paper trail, yet a true conservative).
Not one of those liberals the Democrats are pushing like Consuelo Callahan.
She was appointed to the bench by Bush41, so she has some paper trail - the Dims will demonize her over Miranda. But she's from South Carolina and Gang of 14 Lindsay will go to bat for her.
The choice of Judge Williams is both good strategy and good policy.
Janice Rogers Brown needs to reveal the family secret, that they changed the original family name to avoid anti-Hispanic prejudice, and that her real name is Moreno.
Apparently there are more abortion/controversial cases in the 5th Circuit than the 4th, making judges from the 4th seem to have less defined positions on the hot button issues.
If Williams is the pick now, Luttig could be on deck for the next vacancy.
