One word I have not heard on TV, radio, or this thread is "legacy" referring to Bush and this nomination. I wonder why. Is it because everyone, supporter and detractor, knows that he does not make decisions based on legacy, but on character and conviction?

More likely it's because this choice is perceived as a middle of the road nominee who will leave no lasting legacy. It's the Rehnquists, Scalias and Thomases of the world who leave legacies - not the O'Connors.

You are probably right, but I would imagine Bush HAD to have considered the effect this pick will have on this country, thus his legacy. I would imagine the sting of his father's fatal Souter appointment made a huge impression on him.
Another reason to consider the MSM's ommission in pointing out that this pick will affect Bush's legacy is that deep down they KNOW that he learned from the sins of his father and has selected someone loyal to him who realizes the fate of his legacy will lie in her hands.
