I'd like to see him nominate JR brown just for the pure enjoyment of watching the dems' heads explode.
Here's a curve ball; how about nominating Condeleeza Rice? There's been non-judges put on the Court before, I understand.
I agree on that. But I'd like to see her nominate because she is the best candidate available (and she might very well be), but not because she is the best woman available.
By restricting the selection to a women, wouldn't Bush be ignoring half the population, and a vast majority of sitting judges? Wouldn't that be sexist?
Certainly we need the best possible jurist on the SC, no matter what the gender, or race.
And you hit the nail on the head. A poor black girl who made good, and just happens to be conservative. The Dems can only pull a Clarence Thomas once, and what are they going to do -- find an old boyfriend who will have some dirt to say about JRB? The nation would be outraged. The black community would be outraged. For every Jesse Jackson they put on the podium, the Repulbicans would put a Lynn Swann or Ward Connerly.
Most pleasant, of course, would be the total silence from NOW and other "women's" groups. It would prove that these orgs have nothing to do with women and everything to do with leftist, anti-American politics.
