"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.

I will be hoping this nomination is derailed, but I fear the DEms got their pick and the Repub Senators will not break with Bush. THis nomination was the Opportunity to reverse years of Judical Tyranny, that is what hurts me most, This is worse than READ MY LIPS. because the impact on our country will go on for years,, those GOP boosters here are willing to ignore this? and yet claim they are conservative?? I will be hard pressed to vote for a national GOP candidate as I no longer trust Them. Will this uphold not just ROE but also KELO and our property rights (no rights as of kelo)
