He's obviously afraid of the fallout from the MSM that would have resulted from an appointment of a committed constitutionalist to the SCOTUS. At least to some degree.

I agree. I use to be a huge supporter of Bush and I am to a certain extent reserving my judgment on this pick, but over the past few years Bush either lost his nerve when dealing with the MSM and/or public opinion. Bring back the President would said "wanted dead or alive", "bring it on" and who told the UN screw off we'll handle Iraq.

I understand he doesn't follow polls, but he better start listening to his conservative base, and he better do it soon.
