It is nice to live through an example of our system working the way it is supposed to.
Hopefully President Bush learns from this mistake. He needs to put his trust in the people who elected him.
We are going to have a fight, no matter who is appointed.
So lets make it worthwhile.
You must be kidding.
I didn't elect Ann Coulter, Charles Krauthammer, or any other elite pundit snob to anything...I hope you people who felt like the President owed you something personally are happy. The combined chorus of your whining has run an honorable person out of town on a rail before she even had her chance at a fair hearing.
I voted for George Bush to represent my interests as a Republican and to execute his duties as the POTUS. He did just that according to his judgment. I might not like all the decisions he makes, including his SCOTUS nominations, but he's our president and it's his call. If you don't like it, tough. We had our chance to oust him a year ago, and we didn't.
The people's will is expressed at the ballot box, not in the op-ed section of the Washington Post. That's how the system is supposed to work.
