She was picked because of her religion...great, that's why America elected Jimmy Carter.

Maybe President Bush will point Jimmah to the Supreme Court next time, I think he's still as born-again as he ever was...

This is so sad. What a joke and wasted opportunity.

GWB will truly go down in history like Clinton: Wasted Talent and Opportunity.

I think she was picked because he knew her and felt like she would not be a "souter". I think he honestly tried to pick someone that he trusted to be the type of judge he wanted to nominate....and that would make it through the confirmation process.

There is no doubt the dems were lying in wait for this one. They kept their powder dry on Roberts and were going to fight tooth and nail over this one. I think what he didn't expect was the reaction from Coulter, Limbaugh, Frum etal.

Her religious belief were "cited" - there are many reasons why President Bush chose this qualified woman. Please see my post #209.
