Here's my oddball take.. I'd rather have the President choose candidates from ranks other than the federal bench - we have far too few constructionists on the bench as it is.

I'm pretty sure that he had Roberts in mind for Chief Justice in any event; I respect that, but wish he didn't have to remove a constructionist from the DC circuit.

What does bother me is the whole 'stealth' candidate thing. He was reelected to the White House, Republicans control both the Senate and the House - we should have solid known conservatives nominated, not tea leaves. Not that tea leaves aren't qualified for the job, just that there's no need - no need at all to sneak someone in.

Let the left scream and yell, let them rally their base. Every time they do, a few more folks become conservatives as the opposition lurches further and further left.

For the last 145 years the senate has been divided into three groups .. about 1/3 conservative, one third Liberal and 1/3 some combination of RINOs and DINOs.

The only time either party has been able to do what it wants was when Barry Goldwater got the bright idea of kicking all the RINOs out of the Republican party. The massive Republican loss of 1964 with Barry at the helm, resulted in a Senate with 1/3 conservatives, 1/3 liberals and 1/3 DINOs.

The Republicans from 1964 until 1966 did not have 40 votes to filibuster. LBJ got liberal legislation passed that Roosevelt could not even get to the floor. All thanks to Barry thinking that there were enough conservatives to win elections in the USA. Talk about stuck on stupid.

It is very clear only about 1/3 of the voters are conservative.

It doesn't take much of a brain to figure out that 36 percent of the voters can't cast 51 percent of the votes.

First understand the problem. Understand the real situation. There are currently about 19 RINOS in the Senate and about 9 DINOS. In New England and some of the midwest only RINOS, DINOS and Liberals can be elected. Ohio for example has elected only one Conservative to a state office. Ohio is RINO DINO Heavan. And if he had not been black, Blackwell could not have gotten elected. Ohio is a swing state in presidential elections. There are 14 swing states. Swing state are not Democratic or Republican. They elect RINOs and DINOs and sometimes elect Republican Presidents and sometimes elect Democratic presidents. They control the outcome of every presidential election. In states like Ohio our choice for Senate Members is not a RINO or a Conservative. The choice is a RINO or a DINO.

There is no way to get 51 conservative members of the senate. It would take the lefist eqivelent of a Barry Goldwater to give us that kind of control.

I hate to tell you this, But Democrats are not DUMB enough to select as disasterous candidate as Goldwater!!!

Stop looking at an imaginary world. Try looking at the real world... then you just might understand the problem and might even figure out a solution.
