This should be another very important reason for conservatives to get out and vote for Bush.
Don't throw your vote away, which may help Kerry.
Bush needs every vote!
The USSC, Kerry's notion we should be run through a "global test", and the issue of the world court should be enough to re-elect Bush to another 4 year term. Bush understands each one of these will be a major setback to this country if that SOB Kerry gets elected to the White House.
If we can't even get judges approved to a federal court of appeals (remember Miguel Estrada and Janice Rogers Brown?), I can only imagine the impossibility of naming judges to the USSC.
Yeah, but you know this is a scare article to get the base out to vote.
"They're gonna take away your right to abortion and bring back Jim Crow! Booga -booga- booga!!!!"
There's no chance in hell that a Republican Senate is going to pass a Supreme Court nominee sent up by a President Kerry, not after the disgraceful way the Democrats have handled Bush's major appointments. Try getting cloture from a Republican filibuster. Just try it.
And Bush will have almost as difficult a time getting one through if he lacks 60 Republicans.
The most likely scenario is that the High Court may have to slog through for a few years with eight or seven justices if one dies or retires.
This is THE reason to vote. This is AS IMPORTANT as the WOT. The WOT defends American, but without the freedom as delineated in the Constitution, what's to defend?
This high court nomination issue is the biggest reason to vote for Bush. The thought if a Mass. liberal appointing 2 or 3 supreme court judges is truly scary.
I can't recall the name(s) of Bush's SCOTUS appointees, even though that was trotted out as the most important reason to vote for him over Gore. There were "two or three" impending retirements four years ago, and yet I still count nine people in robes every October when the Court convenes.
And so many decry the left's use of "scare tactics"...
