just breaking!!!!!!!!
The next nominee will be another woman. The seat to be filled in place of the retiring O'Connor is a woman's seat.
You'd think after being wrong so much, you'd be a little scarce around here.
But no, you're as loud as ever. LOL
man, this thread is flying. I finally read my way to the top.
"We fear the chances are strong for Alberto. Sure it will further enrage the base. But no one, no matter how much they disagree with his positions on certain issues, or his past affiliations, will be able to question his credentials."
Yup - Gonzalez is pro-abortion, pro-gun control, and a member of the racist group La Raza. Hard to question those credentials...
But if Bush nominates him for USSCJ, it would certainly question Bush's judgement...
Gonzalez wasn't popular among the GOP for Atty General!
Pray for W and Our Troops
Libertarians as a party, may have a few out of mainstream views (i.e. drugs) but I'm about to the point I'd trust a Libertarian in office than I would a Republican
I don't suppose it occurs to any of you folks that the exact same outcome could have been accomplished without the vitriol exhibited by so many pundits and people on this board. People could have worked behind the scenes and accomplished a dignified withdrawal, instead of airing dirty laundry for the public's edification.
You all have thro own your lot in with Kristol, Frum, and the rest of the weasel crew, who now apparently think they control the nomination process. Good luck to you.
And the Senate has already approved her...
IMHO we are now going to get someone we can all get behind because the President has seen the conservatives of the party are going to stick together when a conservative is nominated. IMHO any conservative that doesn't get behind a Luttig or JRBrown nomination or Owens are not conservatives on here but trying to disrupt. I have read a lot of threads and what I saw were Freepers I know who are conservative genuinely concerned about this nomination. Then when the reports of her interviews with Senators started to come out, I begin to wonder what was up with this nomination. Two and two did not add up.
I was supporting the nomination getting a hearing in the Senate Judiciary because I knew Dr. Tom Coburn would be asking questions. I have complete faith in my Senator to get to the bottom of everything including this nomination.
Like another Freeper said "bait and switch" comes to mind.
THANK YOU! Roll Sean Connery voice: "If they stab one of yours, you shoot one of theirs...It's the Chicago way!" In light of the White Sox win, it seems appropriate.
It has the potential to win us MANY seats in 2006 if they play this card right!
He's being tested and probably feels very much 'alone' lately on that hill.
But his faith will see him through, and he will stay the course!....
The only Republicans back in August 3, 1993 to vote NO on Ruth Bader Ginsburg, of New York, to be an Associate Justice of the Supreme Court of the United States were:
Helms (R-NC)
Nickles (R-OK)
Smith (R-NH)

We won.
You lost.
Sigh. One more time.
I AM NOT SAYING ideology isn't important...it is. I'm simply saying you won't hear it from the president. Does he consider it? Of course. Will he ask open questions about it to the nominee? No. Will you hear him talk about a nominees ideology? No. That doesn't mean the nominee isn't a conservative.
And I'm not writing this to support Miers. Her lack of written legal philosophy was a sinker from the beginning. I'm glad she's withdrawn...and I think it's time for the "Miers battle" to end.
I don't think Volokh has the resume Kozinski does, but I agree he'd be a good justice, too--someday. Probably not acceptable right now b/c of that short resume, however.
I think this withdrawal injures the president. He is obviously weakened.
It will affect whom he can nominate to SCOTUS. (See post #823)
I'm thinking there will be no Fitzpatrick indictments at all. That's my hope. However, if there are, then the President is even more injured.
This is really negative stuff to have happening when we should already be targeting democratic senate seats in the mid-term elections.
What was that?
It's Mulligan Time......
Mr. President, now is the time to appoint a Known Conservative. Step up and give us what we the people who voted for you and supported you want in a Supreme court Justice.
Anyone listening to that clap trap boxer on FOX. Man I despise her lying. She actually said no dems opposed Miers. What..... Give me a break...
Come On Bush, appoint a True Conservative who will overturn RvW.
Thanks,
Joe
