"We also know that Bush only considered women for the slot. If he had five women in mind, four declined. That's believeable. He should have broadened his criteria to include men instead of playing affirmative action quota games. He would have found qualified nominees willing to face the jackals on the Senate Judiciary Commitee."

I have not made up my mind and I am willing (somewhat) to give the President the benefit of the doubt, however, I was not happy about the comments by Laura Bush that sexism was a possible motive for discontent, nor was I thrilled that the thread discussing that was pulled this morning. If Mrs. Bush makes a comment, then as far as I'm concerned, her comments are up for discussion.

I was even more irked by the fact that some people decided to criticize us for speaking out against the First Lady's comments.

Since when is criticizing pro-abortion, pro-quota public figures disallowed?
