Now for some Deep Thoughts from DU:

<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<


Likely approach for Dubya with Supreme Court Nominee.

Edited on Tue Jul-19-05 03:26 PM by genius

He's bound to pick an extremist who will support him when he refuses to leave office in 2009, who will refuse to uphold the Constitution and who will support right wing attacks against American liberties. The main threats are to the Bill of Rights, our freedom and our civil liberties. It is unlikely anyone would overturn Roe, though it might become more limited. The worst case scenario (and an unlikely one), with respect to Roe, would be the use of a states' rights approach, resulting in an increase in migration to California, New York and some of the other more liberal states.

Bush won't want a paper trail so he'll look at relative unknowns and interview them to make sure they're extreme enough. He'll probablly look to the extremist group, the Federalist Society, for his possiblities. Without a paper trail, he will figure, the Democrats won't know what's hit them until it's too late.

Watch for this. We need investigators who will be able to fill in the details that aren't on record.

Personaly, I think that they would be happier with a pro-life man than a pro-life woman.

They are now reporting on the clothes of the family of a judge

I wouldn't be suprised if they follow him from the courtroom today. Helicopter shots of his car. "Judge Luttig's silver Bronco has now turned onto Pennsylvania Avenue..."

What are the current odds on Jones? I'll settle for either Jones, Brown, or Luttig.

You don't know anyone's mind or heart except your own. Excuse me for inferring that you think you do. As I said, I agree with you on the subject, so why do you have to be like that?

My "inside sources" are saying Clement.

Yes, I'm still ducking lightning here; I wouldn't be surprised if this cell goes "Severe" soon with this much lightning.

But in any event, the "sources" I'm quoting from DC are also saying to be prepared for a surprise.

Luttig, Estrada, Owens, Brown, Clement, Jones, Judge Judy. The possibilities and speculations are endless.

CNN John King reporting that Luttig is ruling on a case today in VA and his wife anf kids are at the courthouse with him all dressed nicely

Definite proof Luttig is IT!!

Or, perhaps, school is out and Mom is taking their kids to see Dad at work.

I wouldn't be surprised if this is someone who is not on the charts at all.

That would align with my (very) modest experience.

LOL. You still get an A as first and last letters are correct.

Surely hope it's someone young. Owen or Luttig would be the ultimate. What can the Dems do if it's Owen? She was just scrutinized so there can't be a long process to check her out. We'd have to hand it to Bush if he's this smart. She'd be an awesome nominee.

See you @ 9:00 PM
