I bet you one of the dying few who still think Souter as an conservative

No. Bush's dad knew nothing about Souter other than what Rudman and Sununu told him.

Bush has been working with Harriett Meiers for TWELVE YEARS. He knows her, and likely learned more as she vetted the recent crop of SC potentials.

I honestly believe that the main reason behind the downcast faces here is that most wanted to get into a pissing contest with the Democrats on the judiciary committee.

Deep down, that's true, isn't it?

Why is it that Bush has named tremendous candidates to the Appeals Courts, but, all of a sudden, you guys think Bush has gone soft on appointments to the highest court in the land?

Closeness can be like viewing the world through a microscope.

She may be competent at her job and still be an "kiss $$" to what the boss wants to hear.

AKA Bill Clinton after the 86 elections.

Suddenly he's the "era of big government is over" point guy.

Ambitious people act the way they want to BE SEEN as whatever pleases the people at any given time, not as they actually are.

No. The top Democrats are falling over themselves in order to be first in PRAISING Ms. Miers" Doesn't that alone make your skin crawl? BR>She may well prove us dissenters wrong. I'd feel alot more comfortable if she had a proven history of conservative decisions behind her.

Only time will tell "Why is it that Bush has named tremendous candidates to the Appeals Courts, but, all of a sudden, you guys think Bush has gone soft on appointments to the highest court in the land?" Appeals courts are small potatoes compared to the SC. If so, then why appoint less qualified, less experienced Miers over the more qualified Appeals Court judges? It smacks of CRONYISM, a despicable act that erodes a society that values hard work and promotes a "Schmooser", Kiss up to the Boss attitude. Great way to run a country.(gag)
