To: Reagan Man,Howlin
I have a question. First off let me start by saying that Ronald Reagan was one of the greatest presidents ever, but by selecting Sandra Day O'Conner as supreme court judge did he violate his oath to protect the constitution? She is pro choice and thus I think most on this forum would agree she's not protecting unborn thus against life which is a part of life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. Was not the focus of this supreme court selection to have a woman supreme court justice? Was the constitution violated because of this selection? This is not sarcasm,but a serious question to consider. We don't always have to agree with the coaches decision (President), but we need to put some things behind us for the good of the team, especially when they are good decent men like Reagan and Bush.

President's have no idea how a SC appointment will trun out 10-20-30 years down the road. Just ask Eisenhower about Earl Warren and Warren Burger. And ask Nixon about John Paul Stevens.

Sounds good to me. We're in agreement.
