LOL.....but the reservoir is full for the first time in a long time!!!

OMG, Specter says that O'Connor went to the Court with credibility because all Senators voting voted for her.

The best advice for GWB and his SCOTUS pick is as follows and comes from Betsy Newmark. For you FReepers that have not discovered her site it can be found at betsyspage.blogspot.com and is a great read. Check her out.

My advice to the President. You and the nominee will get hammered and vilified no matter whom you pick. If the nominee were the reincarnation of both John and Thurgood Marshall, the press would portray the nominee as another Roger B. Taney. So, Mr. President, my recommendation is that you just pick the most conservative, qualified, and youngest nominee that you can. Forget the critics since there is no one you could nominate that wouldn't excite the leftist base. They have been gearing up for this battle for four years and their fund-raising depends on raising a fuss. There is no way that they will defer to Bush's choice. So, swing for the fences, Mr. Bush. Your base is there for you.

Thanks Betsy for your great insight. Let the fight commence.
