An animatronic news anchor that Fox acquired from CNN last month.
What "milestones?"
Hey WG,
Is that Showmoo the whale on parade?
NSNR
Is he called Nerd Man or is it The Geek Patrol? I need my computer cleaned up and I need an advisor so I don't screw anything up.
And here he's shown during a maintenance procedure:
Nerds on Site. He was great.
Janice Rogers Brown would be excellent--agree.
I want to know who is the most originalist/Constitutionalist/true conservative?
Luttig?
Brown?
Jones?
Estrada?
Owens?
My guess is Luttig has the most brilliant legal mind, most conservative combo.
This is a test for George Bush. We need to find out who the most strict Constitutionalist is. If he fails nominate that person, then Bush is no conservative.
Actually, by nominating Roberts, Bush failed the first test and proved yet again he is no conservative since there were the names mentioned above available at that time.
"I noticed a pattern. All the results are women."
So far I only found one person getting a male (Estrada):

You mean someone like our UN Ambassador? <;)

Here;s one blogger's opinion on Edith Brown Clement: "is a judge on the United States Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit. She was nominated to this seat on September 4, 2001, by George W. Bush, was confirmed by the Senate on November 13, 2001, and received commission on November 26, 2001. With the resignation of Justice Sandra Day OConnor from the United States Supreme Court, Judge Clements has been mentioned by some pundits as a potential Bush administration nominee to the Supreme Court of the United States.
Born in Birmingham, Alabama in 1948, Clement was educated at the University of Alabama, receiving her B.A. in 1969, and at Tulane Law School, where she received a J.D. in 1972. Her early career included a period clerking for Judge Herbert W. Christenberry at the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Louisiana ( 1973-1975 ), after which she worked in private practice in New Orleans, Louisiana until 1991.
On October 1, 1991 Clement was nominated to the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Louisiana by George H.W. Bush. She was confirmed by the Senate to this post on November 21, 1991, and received commission on November 25, 1991. In 2001 she served as chief judge of this court, before being nominated to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit.
What I think: She is a member of the Federalist Society, an influential conservative legal organization. She has never been in any controversial court cases. However, she does lean right and is in a conservative legal organization.

The facts of the above blog are correct from what I remember about Clement.
<<< A judge with the sterling credentials that Justice Roberts has should not have gotten one nay vote.>>>>
Those days are long gone...
Federal Judges, even on the lower levels are now the left's pawns in the politics of death...
I hate to say it that way, but that's what it's about...
i hate posting on those "taped delay" threads. but i think every thread has a 5 second delay.
Have you received your membership card in The Donner Party yet?
Writing 50 years ago, F.A. Hayek warned us that a centrally planned economy is "The Road to Serfdom." He was right, of course; but the intervening years have shown us that there are many other roads to serfdom. In fact, it now appears that human nature is so constituted that, as in the days of empire all roads led to Rome; in the heyday of liberal democracy, all roads lead to slavery. And we no longer find slavery abhorrent. We embrace it. We demand more. Big government is not just the opiate of the masses. It is the opiate. The drug of choice for multinational corporations and single moms; for regulated industries and rugged Midwestern farmers and militant senior citizens.It is my thesis today that the sheer tenacity of the collectivist impulse -- whether you call it socialism or communism or altruism [some aspects of "compassionate conservatism" are altruistic]-- has changed not only the meaning of our words, but the meaning of the Constitution, and the character of our people.
Government is the only enterprise in the world which expands in size when its failures increase.
I wouldn't doubt it.
It looks like Feingold will be the next Dem presidential candidate.
