"ACLJ is for this nominee----Planned Parenthood is against"
Works for me. And the fact that she was not a judge is even better. My goodness, I have never seen such hysteria on FR in years. Bush knows her personally, all of us here don't. Why on earth do we think we know more than he?
That's right. If Sekulow likes her, that's a good thing.
"Bush knows her personally, all of us here don't. Why on earth do we think we know more than he?"
It comes down to trust. GWB has a pretty poor track record on things that conservatives care about. Many, however, understanding the importance of judicial nominees, soldiered on, knowing that this was a huge opportunity to do something really important for the country and something for the many conservatives who supported GWB ONLY b/c of judicial nominees. He promised Scalia/Thomas....yet he give us something which we can hardly verify as being in the Scalia/Thomas tradition. The Bush supporters are simply left with this argument: Trust Bush.
That's just not going to get a lot of traction here.
A lot of conservatives simply don't trust him, and they have good reason not to.
