Thank the base for raising hell and keeping his woman friend off.
The poor dear. If he doesn't like his treatment at FR, maybe he could desist in his frantic efforts to provide permanent legal residence to an untold number of millions of illegals, including felons, he wouldn't have that problem
Harriet Miers was proposed by Bush and squelched by the Senate.
I will not give credit to Bush before I give credit to a GOP Congress.
If I needed proof, you’ve provided it. I rest my case.
So you’re already blaming Bush for any SC appointments made after he leaves office? And what’s “pulling a Nixon”? Bush has made a lot of mistakes, but give him credit where it’s due.
Thank God for stellar conservatives who held George W. Bush's feet to the fire, ensuring that he would appoint a conservative judiciary whether he wanted to or not. Don't forget about the whole Meirs debacle, etc.
It was close though - we could have gotten Meyers (Meiers?)
Sure, but by the same token, he deserves credit for sending Alito. Its not like Alito was automatically next in line in seniority to her. It took Bush to nominate him. Bush rocks on Alito and Roberts. Heck of a job, Jorge!!

Both Alito and Roberts were suggested by the GOP Senate.
After the Harriet Miers debacle, Bush acquiesced to what the GOP Senate suggested.
Hmmmm....
Awful lotta blue sky in this piece.
Personally, I still consider both Alito and Roberts to be largely untested.
Too many 5-4 rulings. If we don’t win in 2008, we’re screwed.
“If we don’t win in 2008, we’re screwed.”
We will win in 2008 if:
1) We stay on Conservative message - America will respond to strength and stability.
2) We stay off the scandal page - we lost because of Abramoff, Foley, and Allen.
He didn’t pull her, at least not publicly. She withdrew her name. Just like Linda Chavez — another underqualified crony appointee — back in 2001.
“Well. I am sure he still thinks Meir’s was a better choice.”
If he still thinks that, his position is as idiotic as his belief in his ‘comprehensive’ give-illegals-amnesty immigration bill.
I don't even know what you mean by "pulls a Nixon." What, are there impeachment hearings that I've missed?
Besides, you are unduly pessimistic about losing to Hillary. I do think that she's likely to be their nominee (barring a Gore entry), but she's got such incredibly high negative ratings that I don't think she'll get ANY of the 2004 Bush states against a reasonably strong candidate. Thus, she loses. IMHO, Fred Thompson is going to be the Republican candidate, and a comparison of how his views stack up vs. her in comparison to the American public gives him the win. Plus, the character and corruption issue are solidly in his favor. Plus he has genuine charisma, vs. her shrillness, arrogance and nastiness. No contest....
and then you have President Thompson appointing successors to Ginsburg and Stevens. That's going to be about as close to a lock as one side is likely to ever get, unless that wimpish liberal Souter also retires.
