You're the idiot.
This pick is the worst kind of revolting, squalid cronyism.
In a universe of choices that included Janice Rogers Brown, Scalito, Luttig, Williams, and Edith Jones, George Bush picked this, this....CRONY.
This gentle lady may be a brilliant attorney but she has never, NEVER, served a nanosecond on the appellate bench. At least Roberts was the most brilliant attorney of his generation AND served time on the DC circuit.
This was Bush's great chance to build a legacy for the ages; instead, he reverts to Country Club Republicanism. Revolting.
Not one thin dime for the RNC from me, folks. Bush promised Scalia and Thomas. A broken promise is a broken promise. We're different than the Democrats because we hold the leadership to account so that they will learn from their mistakes. Not one thin f*#king dime.
Be Seeing You,

Hey, let's avoid the name calling, OK?
Lemme ask you one question: Did Dubya do what he said he'd do (pick justices in the mold of Scalia and Thomas), or did he sell out the base on YET ANOTHER issue?
Now, let me repeat: he's an idiot. This will turn control of the WH, Congress and Senate over to the D's for DECADES. The millions who did get-out-the-vote, shoe-leather-on-the-street to get R's elected for THIS **ONE** issue alone will simply stay home next time - or vote Constitutional Party to make a statement.
(R) is done for the next 2 decades, EASILY. Mark my post and check it in '06 and '08 and WATCH. WE are quite unhappy, and it WILL have ramifications.
Dubya wants to totally ignore his base on this? Well, he personally won't suffer - but the (R) party will.
I'm **DONE** with the (R)'s - they are spineless idiots that don't know what to do with power when they have it.
