thanks for the story of her v Souter in the Bush I days. Talk about "delicious irony."

Pardon me for butting in, but what did I miss here?

Voter turnout for the GOP in '06 and '08 hangs firmly on any nominations this POTUS makes to to the USSC bench.

Truthfully, with neither Bush nor Cheney on the ticket in '08, my hopes aren't high.

I am concerned with his apparent need to appease Hispanics and keep the "new tone" with the backstabbing democrats.

I love George Bush, but am afraid he's more concerned with getting one through the confirmation process than doing what is best.

Oh God... please let me be wrong.

"It's either Luttig or Roberts. Any other guesses?"

Jones or Brown. With Luttig as a number 3 pick.

But Estrada is coming up on the outside, 4 lengths back.

I'm thinking this is a semantics game...the President is trying to co-opt the word "mainstream" and choose a conservative, indicating that that *is* mainstream.

I agree with you. He's talking "mainstream", but the nominee will be fairly conservative. I think he will choose a conservative woman, but who knows.

I wouldn't read too much into the word "mainstream" or anything else that ABC reports for that matter.

Would you expect either the President or ABC news to come out announcing that he's expected to nominate an arch conservative? I don't think so.

His appellate picks have been conservatives.

Spector is about as useful as Dead Kennedy. The great defense attorney who helped the Unicorn Killer flee for 20 years from justice in America.

I hope this information as to a nomination of Spector is incorrect. President Bush should know better if this is the case. NSNR

Why are you listening to the media? Specter is the head of the judiciary committee and he owes Bush a HUGE favor. Specter would almost certainly have lost his seat in the PA primary if it weren't for the president's endorsement. Bush has nominated a conservative and RINO judiciary chairman Specter owes him big time.

I think he's telling Specter that he wants hearings now, before the summer recess and the nomination out of his committee before the end of August.

Unless the Senate decides to cut its recess short, Part 6 of Senate Rule XXXI provides that all nominations active before August 1 will be returned to the President on September 5.

The operative language is, "if the Senate shall adjourn or take a recess for more than thirty days, all nominations pending and not finally acted upon at the time of taking such adjournment or recess shall be returned by the Secretary to the President, and shall not again be considered unless they shall again be made to the Senate by the President."

The nominations that are out of committee are also returned to the President, as "out of committee" is not "finally acted upon." An alternative hinted at above is thatteh Senate cut its recess short of 31 days. That would have the side benefit of preserving the half-dozen circuit court nominations that are presently stalled in the Senate.

I know I'm coming in late here. If this nominee is acceptable to Spector, I'm scared.

Sorry,Hatch does not even have the backbone to protect an Aide who was doing their job and discovered a Kennedy memo(NAACP) concerning a delay tactic in appointing a judge. This would insure a ruling on affirmative action at Michigan State University (Quotas) would remain in affect.

The Aide who discoverd the memo was either fired or resigned for doing his job by Sir Hatch.

I believe Presidnt Bush should appoint the best qualified judge who represents what America stands for and leave denominations out.

We need a man or woman who has integrity, principle, honor,temperance, fortitude, prudence and justice.

My post is not meant to be disrespectful only to illuminate the true light of Orin Hatch. NSNR

He is doing both. I wouldn't want to sit in a poker game with the President and Mr. Rove.
