Would have been easier just to nominate someone whose real beliefs are there for all to see. But instead we see the result of 'strategery'.

Ug. Gang of 14, RINO's.....no Brown......Ug. Two Stealth nominee's...right leaning court.....ug. Big battle for third pick....ug.

"..no Brown"

How do you know if you don't even try?

Which republicans are going to go on national tv badmouthing a black woman, daughter of a sharecropper, who is 50 times more qualified than they are?

And what happens if she gets denied?

Well, the president just goes back and nominates someone else. It's not "be approved the first time or you can't nominate another".

Plus, the fight, and if there was a denial, would have motivated the base for the 2006 elections.

Instead of getting a 100% sure conservative bet nominated, we get an unknown, "trust us on this" nominee - one recommended by the Harry Reid!

This is not how GWB said he would stock the supreme court if elected. He promised more judges like thomas and scalia, not the personal recommendations of the senate democratic leader.
