Thank God for a stellar conservative judiciary, courtesy of George W. Bush.

[geopyg]

Yep, one of his (and ours - the voters) accomplishments.

IBTBBIT

Well. I am sure he still thinks Meir's was a better choice. It would have helped if he spent his recent crusade energy on lower court nominees . By the time he pulls a Nixon and leaves office he will have paved the way for Hillary to appoint 2 or 3 more to balance out his right mistakes.

[llevrok]

I have my issues with Pres. Bush - and there are many - but his SCOTUS appointments have been brilliant.

Just one more please!

[headstamp]

This is Bush’s legacy. He doesn’t need to find one elsewhere if you know what I mean.

[airborne]

Give us conservatives some credit for objecting to Bush’s choice of Harriet Miers.

She would have been a Sandra Day O’Conner clone.

[WriteOn]

Please. Bush wanted to put Harriet Miers on the court. He thankfully was thwarted by the party.

[Cicero]

He eventually listened to the base on Miers and pulled her. If not for all these recent problems, Miers would have been forgotten.

Bush’s single strongest achievement has been in the area of right to life. He certainly deserves credit for that.

[libbylu]

Thank the base for raising hell and keeping his woman friend off.

[Hostage]

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.

[Spiff]

Thank God for a stellar conservative judiciary, courtesy of George W. Bush.

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.

[joebuck]

It was close though - we could have gotten Meyers (Meiers?)

[onedoug]

Hmmmm....

[EternalVigilance]

Awful lotta blue sky in this piece.

[SteveMcKing]

Too many 5-4 rulings. If we don’t win in 2008, we’re screwed.

[tiger-one]

And who would Romney appoint?

[ears_to_hear]

His only conservative legacy.

[norwaypinesavage]

"Justice Kennedy has cast the deciding vote in each – six times with the right and five with the left."

Kennedy was considered to be a reliable conservative when he was appointed. It was only after he came to Washington, that he "grew". It may be that when faced with reasoned conservative arguments he is reverting to his base. The Washington social and media life is seductive, but not necessarily pervasive.

[indcons]

Ah....a bot feel-good thread, I see.

The conservative judiciary, at least on the SCOTUS, has nothing to do with Jorge. The man wanted that incompetent Harriet Miers instead of solid, conservative judges. It was FReepers and the conservative grassroots movement that forced him to backtrack and appoint judges like Roberts and Alito.

Don’t allow the facts to sully your feel-good thread in any way.

[So Circumstanced]

Thank God we chided him out of the feeble Meirs choice.

[GladesGuru]

For this judicial victory, he will rightly be remembered as a President who slowed, perhaps even stopped communism in America.

Now, let’s keep up the pressure on the border and illegal immigrant issues so he will not be El Presedente Boosh in history books.

Do it for Presdient Bush.
