Janice Rogers Brown was the first person I thought of when I heard the news.
Then I thought of how the left-wing organizations have geared up for her...too much lead time.
And being black won't get them to cut her any slack. Look at the Hell they put Justice Thomas through - making up lies and bringing in a former associate to try to nail him.
I cannot believe anyone would subject themselves to the feeding frenzy that will accompany the nomination.
Frankly, I wish there was a movie type ending to this - such as an unknown who has been under the radar, but is a true Conservative, and who would confuse all the sharks circling, waiting for blood in the water.
Janice Rogers Brown would be an excellent choice. I'd love to see the DemocRATS fighting against her getting that job. We are exposing 'RAT racism more and more everyday.
"Then I thought of how the left-wing organizations have geared up for her...too much lead time."
Any "dirt" has already been exposed, and I know of very little ammo other than her obvious distaste for certain socialist pet programs that have a highly emotional appeal. That would be true of any conservative, though.
You mean like David Souter?
F that--if the nominee isn't a proven conservative there is no point to voting for the GOP. I'm sick of nominations like Kennedy and Souter where we think we'll get them through so they're nominated, and then do nothing but torch the Constitution when they get in.
We need certainty in that nomination or we're wasting the appointment. O'Connor must be replaced with a constitutionalist, not another O'Connor.
