there some fairly important people out there who are less than enthused with this selection.

Important people? Would that be like....elite people, special people? The same people who tell us that unless we're lawyers, we're too uneducated to read and understand the Constitution?

You can follow the "important" people if you like. They're just one opinion out of a multitude.

Hey RINO, he's talking about people who have spent their careers trying to advance the nomination of conservative Justices.

I tend to trust the opinions of such people, and not bootlickers' like yours.

Yes, I know. Robert Bork was pretty well respected until he came out against Miers. It's really quite amazing to watch some of you throw folks overboard just because they disagreed with this choice.

The other morning I heard on CSpan that a Supreme Court Justice does NOT have to be a US citizen.

I checked the requirements , as stated in the Constitution and ,well look it up. There really aren't any requirements, YOU DO NOT HAVE TO BE AN ATTORNEY.

So where do we stand.

I think CONSERVATIVES better quit bickering and do as has been done for years, be sure to vote in primaries. Very few do.

Try to join your local Republican group,and be VOCAL. It wont produce miracles but that is where you start. I did ,but am too old to get too involved,[interested since 1940, only 17 at the time].

I have lived in N.C. for just two years but have joined the local Republican group. Best way to start. It's a very small community in the mountains.
