Bush should tell his base....."Now,.....you can deliver Luddig......right?
Lets get on with it. Let McCaine, SNowe, Graham, and the rest know that they will not have a seat at the table if they do not get in line with Bush on the Luddig appointment.
To: Halfmanhalfamazing
Great news. No more surprises. Just pick between Alito and Luttig and conservatives will be very happy.
To: Torie
Rereading the Rosen piece, Luttig would be the better pick. Alito ruled that the feds could not regulate the posssession of machine guns, allegedly. That will be all over the Dem ads against him, and fair and damaging comment.All the better reason to revere Alito. Either will do in this situation.
To: Ol' Sparky
Very true.
I'd be happy with 15 or so possibles, and I'll support them if solid, but a real heavy weight would be nice.
Luttig or Alito are good.
And if he wants a woman, go to Jones or Brown.
To: Loyal Buckeye
Miers was not an "abomination", even if picking Miers arguably was. I agree wholeheartedly with this. Few have been as vociferous as I about her lack of qualifications to serve on the SCOTUS; however, that does not diminish her as a person of accomplishment in her past endeavours or indicate that she will not be equally successful in her future life.
I must point out, however, that there have been as many ad hominem attacks against anyone who dared oppose her confirmation as there have been against the nominee herself.
This nomination caused an alarming amount of emotional turmoil. For that reason, alone, it is probably a good thing that she withdrew.

Don't get too excited about my following comments, made in jest, as my Grandparents came from Palermo.
Alito and Scalia, two guineas on the Supreme Court, it's a great day for the mafia.
Hey, if the brothers can do it, why can't we Italians? Flame away with the pious, pompus, politically correct pounding. I posted this after re-reading it and know that some will be offended. Feel free to be offended.

Aliton would be fine and so would Luttig. I am actually in love with them both, It's tough to pick.

you've been watching too many Sopranos episodes.

To nitpick, Earl Warren wasn't a former legislator. He had been a district attorney, attorney general, and governor of California, but had never served in the state legislature or in Congress, so he never wrote any laws...until becoming Chief Justice.
To: Texas Songwriter
There is no point in a majority if it doesn't have the courage of its convictions. The sissies must learn that it's time to fish or cut bait. In a way I hope they cut bait so real, courageous representation will follow. But the sensible side of me just hopes they do whats right tomorrow.
To: faithincowboys
It's tough to pick.Would looking over #75 on this thread make it any easier at all?

My pick is Luttig
Good choice. He would be worth fighting for.
To: Americalover
Luddig or Alito are 'right' choices.

But Souter needs to stay on until our hotel is built. Are they going to take his home by eminent domain and put up a hotel? Is that just a rumor?
To: dubyaismypresident
I would accept either of those picks- not because they are women, but because they are qualified.
