OK -
Play a "hat if" game:
(1) Bush nominates her....
(2) She is trashed/Borked in the Senate (insanity) hearing for nonsensical and irrelevent reasons,
(3) Her name is pulled and substitute is sent up, but the demo's can't trash him/her with the same excuses twice ...
(4) Bush gets the SECOND NAME through.
Disagree. She will easily confirmed. That's why Bush picked her.
That's what I thought could happen, from my post 146: The democrats have been saying from the getgo that they are going to fight the next nominee. Maybe Bush, knowing this has picked a sacrificial lamb so to speak for the democratic wolves. He has it worked out with her that this is going to be ugly and she will probably not be passed by the senate. Perhaps they are doing this, to play the democrats fighting hand, and then they will choose an uber conservative constitutionalist. The nation will be tired and sick of the fighting over a judge and the people will be ready for their senators to just pick one already. Then again, I may be wrong.
Why would the Senate dems trash a woman who was on Harry Reid's "approved" list?
