Hearing on Fox News

[madison10]

Janice Brown is too moderate? Thought she was "by the book." Well, who is there to nominate?

[Tennessean4Bush]

O'Connor's seat will be a tough fight, but nothing like the fight over Ginsburg, Stevens, Souter, or Breyer. Those are the solid liberals. Ginsburg and Stevens are old and not in good health, and I am one hoping that they will be the next to announce retirement.

[alessandrofiaschi]

Thank you for your opinion. Probably there will be a woman, named in place of O'Connor or Rehnquist. I'm sure.

[lunarbicep]

JRB would be excellent !!!

[FROGTOWN CONSERVATIVE]

How about a recess appointment of Newt? To what?

As far as I'm concerned after his recent dalliance with Her Thighness he can be Hillary's pet dog

[maryz]

4-4 decisions on the SC isn't the worst thing that could happen if there fight is drawn out.

Except with Kennedy -- the other swing vote, we'd see a lot of 5-3, and those certain to be the wrong way.

[demlosers]

Oh the Fireworks are gonna start early!

Outta be fun when the rats go insane! LoL!

[OldFriend]

Knew it all along.

[zzen01]

WHY DON'T YOU GET EDUCATED! How old were YOU in 1991?

[Gipper08]

I like Janice Rodgers Brown,but the rest have O'Conner written all over them.

[leprechaun9]

PRESIDENT BUSH SHOULD IMMEDIATELY MAKE AN INTERIM APPOINTMENT OF ROBERT BORK!

That would be a little justice for the Biden-led Borking process that has emasculated the whole confirmation process!

[kabar]

LOL. Slow news day in the middle of the Summer.

[GVnana]

No just knowing that you are from there explains alot.

Oh yeah? What is "alot"?

[Soul Seeker]

he has been vocal, he's sent others in his administration out to defend these Justices and Bolton, but agree he will need to be more vocal.

[Alberta's Child]

David Boaz must be the most incompetent journalist on the planet -- he wrote that article after the rumors of O'Connor's resignation had become public last weekend.

[mdefranc]

"...there were many Republican senators who were adamantly opposed to having Bork on the court -- mainly because his role in the Watergate affair..." - Alberta's Child

MANY Republican senators? I think not. To the best of my memory, Bork's justification for his actions was not attacked during the confirmation hearings. Those GOP senators who eventually voted against him stated that they did so on grounds of general legal philosophy.

[Miss Marple]

Dear Senator Reid:

Here's the list. Pick one:

Estrada
Brown
Owens
Coulter

Have a nice day!

President Bush

[alessandrofiaschi]

Don't worry. Me too... but something with that sentence is wrong.

[OXENinFLA]

I'm not saying he can't nominate a woman, I'm just saying he shouldn't be required to nominate a woman because a woman stepped down.

SPECTER ON C-SPAN.....PRES. BUSH UP SHORTLY.

[PhiKapMom]

Did you see what he put up before saying what he did -- that's what I am talking about. You obviously haven't been reading threads on here lately with the sky is falling approach. Instead of facts, we get feelings about what might happen. I thought his post was inappropriate because there are no facts to back up that supposition but he covered himself with saying he didn't believe it -- then why post it?
