Dems won't be able to block Janice Rogers Brown or a conservative Hispanic. Basically, it comes down to, does Bush have the gall to nominate a conservative minority, because that's what it will take. NOT Alberto Gonzales!
Alberto Gonzales is a lot more conservative than you think.
Discussed this earlier. Steven will need replaced ASAP.
Dems won't be able to block Janice Rogers Brown. Still get a conservative judge.
Good heavens.
Did you watch the Clarence Thomas hearings?!
He would in fact likely nominate Gonzalez to the USSC and obtain confirmation for him. We could do much worse with a Democratic senate.
Specter had better push through some appellate judges during the lame duck session, because this is the end of the line for conservative judges during the Bush presidency.
