[OldFriend]

Bless you Mr. President.

We'll be praying for you and your administration.

[pissant]

If Bush can pack the courts with right wingers, his legacy will indeed be great.

Nuclear Option Now

[dead]

Are any of them sufficiently versed in Scottish Law?

[BJClinton]

Hmmmm... and earlier today we hear this: Frist has necessary votes to change filibuster rules.

[samtheman]

How many of these are able to pass the Global Test?

[FreedomPoster]

Yes, saw that, good point. Something tells me that wasn't by chance.

[RetiredArmy]

Now we will see if the republican in the senate have the "shorts" to get off their collective @$$e$ and do something besides cower to the socialists in the senate. Time will tell. But, if history is any gage, these folks will not get passed.

[facedown]

If, at first, you don't succeed...

[Aria]

There was a column after the elections that said Bush's SOTU speech could consist of him standing up and saying "I own this town" and then sit down. So now we will find out if this is true....for sure we have all put a ton of effort into this so the judges would be changed out. This I think was the most single important reason for voting Republican.

[Sybeck1]

Dusty Harry will be pushed into a box for sure!

[sure_fine]

Yes, saw that, good point. Something tells me that wasn't by chance.

LOL...ya think?

[Martin Tell]

Frist wants to be president. He better deliver on this or he won't make it to the first primary.

What is with the Pubbies anyway? The way they act, you would think the RATs had a 75-25 majority.

[longtermmemmory]

I can just see law school admissions committees looking to screen out conservative law students.

[scars]

PINGGGGG!!!!

[Rummyfan]

Glad to see Brown and Pryor on this list. Too bad Miguel Estrada is not on it!

[Frohickey]

If Bush can pack the courts with right wingers, his legacy will indeed be great.

Didn't you mean, "If Bush can pack the courts with judges who can understand and apply Constitutional principles, his legacy will indeed be great."?
