"Why do we, as Conservatives, have to guess what kind of judge we get for our re-election efforts."

- I guess it's just one of the downsides of supporting an incumbent who has outsmarted the Dems and the MSM once again - but his maneuver has one downside. It's going to take until Meirs writes her first few opinions before the left realizes they've been sucker punched and you get the answer to your question.
In the meantime, I'll trust Dubya not to appoint someone who would completely betray his Christian beliefs and the core values that he must feel she shares.
At the very least, she will not be an activist judge - of that I'm certain.

I agree that the Democrats have just been sucker punched.

Bush did speak to 80 Senators before naming his choice. The 20 he didn't call, well we all know who they are.

Give her a chance people. You just might be surprised.
