Are there any judges that Bush has put up that have not proven to be conservative non-activist judges at the very least? I am unaware of any, and when you add that to the firm democrat resistance to over 100 of Bush's Judges, I do think that after nearly 5 years now, it is safe to conclude that Bush totally kept his promise to only put conservative constructionise Judges on the courts of all levels.
My point is that it is too early to know. For many, a judge's tenure on the bench can be an act of self discovery.
If Bush appointed judicial activists that just happen to tilt to the conservative side then we will be in trouble. It's not like we've had a chance to evaluate every one of Bush's nominees.
Mostly we've gone by trust but Miers showed us that Bush's was relying on Mier's political and personal views more than her judicial philosophy.
It is too soon to tell on Roberts too. He seems like he will be really good, but let's give a few years before we claim victory.
W hath vindicated himself. Finally, he screwed-up his courage the way we knew he could.
The enemy will go bonkers trying to derail this, but it's already too late. Unless there's a stash of dead bodies in his basement, the left is going to have to grin and take a bite out the sh*t sandwich they're about to be fed.
You are EXACTLY right. And yet, the lynch-mob attacked Bush like he was Ted Kennedy. I couldn't believe the 100's of accusations of "RINO" and worse.
Bush has actually done a great job with the judiciary.
