But you are going to watch the confirmation hearings and you will get to judge for yourself.

True, but by that time it will be too late. The vast majority of the GOP is going to vote for her no matter what she says - which won't be much.

We are stuck with her unless the democrats don't like her.

Hmmmm, and what if she were to turn out to be one of the most consistant originalists ever put on the bench.

I read an article tonight that said that Thomas was not exactly known and some of his rulings were "Souteresque". What if everyone had listened to that?

The simple truth is, you don't know how someone is going to rule once they get up in that high, thin air. You can only count on their judicial philosophy, and Dubya is in the best position to know that.

By not waiting until you have a better understanding, you risk being the pressure behind eliminating someone who could possibly be of the calibre of Thomas and Scalia. Or, she could possibly end up being as squishy as another Kennedy. We just don't know until we listen to what she says in the hearings.
