I fear President Bush is going to sell us down the river with someone who is not the best suited to defend our Constitution.
Not a chance.
He will pick a solid conservative. I am sure of it. He is not Bush 41.
That's precisely what he'll do if he chooses Gonzales. Bush had said some time ago that he would hold Scalia and Thomas as examples of the sort of judicial temperament he admires and would choose. If he doesn't follow his own expressed preference and nominates someone "moderate" (read liberal), it will be a great betrayal of conservatism.
Bush is not the problem. The spineless, gutless, ball-less, clueless "Republican" "majority" is the problem. Heck, they'd probably reject Arlen Specter as "too conservative."
