"Because she's supposed to be one of us? Because we were promised a Scalia or Thomas by Bush? Because we're just supposed to take on faith Bush's assurances that he knows her and we can trust her? That's not "hypocrisy"---that's prudence."
Very well stated.

What makes you so convinced that she's not one of us if you don't know anything about her? Probably the bolded clause of the sentence above.
That's what makes us so "convinced."

Your reply proves once and for all that you're ill-informed and can be ignored.

It is properly posed to the current nominee.

There's nothing wrong with criticism but I've seen a lot of people on this forum who are ready to call out the firing squad because President Bush didn't bother to consult with them before he made his choice.

What epithet would you prefer I use?
How would you like me to describe a group of individuals that does not gainsay the words or deeds of someone, regardless of their consequences?

There's little in the way of information to prove she is conservative. Therefore, in order for me to be convinced that she is a solid conservative I'd have to "guess" or "trust" that she is. That's not good enough, I'm afraid.

Define "us"
And then tell me you ever want to appear before a judge who is one of "us". Particularly when you don't know if "us" includes you.

It is a sad fact that the nation has moved so far from the founders vision that the constitution is all but null and voided. Some of us would like to arrest the slide into tyranny that is well under way. Others appear to be members of the George Bush (can do no wrong) personality cult. If you are a conservative then appointing stealth/crony to the supreme court would upset you. Particularly when there are many many many good conservative candidates available.
One theory gaining popularity is that Bush wanted to spit in the eye of conservatives that undermined support for Gonzolas (another crony) just to piss them off. Mission accomplished W, you managed to split the GOP base and piss off most conservatives, way to go!

Did you Bush Bots actually believe that Antonin Scalia-a sitting justice-would publicly criticize the president's choice, let alone come forward with a full-throated denunciation of her?
How delusional can you get?And you Bush-Haters believe that he would rip her to shreds like you have been, if only he could. It's just that he didn't.
And we're the delusional ones. Okey dokey.

What makes you so convinced that she's not one of us if you don't know anything about her?The fact that I don't know anything about her. Why is that so difficult for you folks on the other side to understand?

In her years in Washington she and Scalia never found themselves in the same social gathering where they might have just even met. Strange. In view of the fact that by all accounts neither is drawn to the DC social scene, I don't find it surprising at all.

I've seen plenty of information. You can discredit it if you wish to but I've seen enough to be willing to see what happens during the hearings.

despite all evidence pointing to the contraryThere really isn't "evidence pointing to the contrary." That is the entire point. President Bush says he knows her and that we should trust him.

Is Robert Bork a pundit or a cowboy?
To: DaughterOfAnIwoJimaVet
No, I believe that he has deep reservations about this individual, but out of deference to the President of the United States, and the prerogatives of his office, will remain silent, which is as it should be.

We trusted the Pundits in the past with Souter and O'Connor. No, we trusted our Presidents on those. It's time we raised a ruckus before the nominations go to the Senate floor about what we know and don't know about nominees, even from our own guys, and never take on blind faith their assurances again.

If you truly believe that President Bush would nominate someone out of spite then I very much doubt that you have EVER supported him, in which case your entire argument would be completely irrelevant as there is nothing he could ever do that would make you happy.
