One of the things I've read about Clement is that she's been overturned very infrequently which as an appellate judge is quite good and as a nominee to SCOTUS is rather appealing.

Wouldn't it be funny if Bush comes out at 1:30 with an announcement:

"Ladies and Gentlemen, we got Bin Laden."

Why are we shying away from a fight? Is the President unhappy that Clarence Thomas is sitting on the court? We almost had Bork on the court, too. And if the GOP really had guts, Edith Jones would be sitting in Souter's chair.

Jury is definitely out on Clement. But the GOP has no balls whatsoever. They want compromise, they get compromise. They want the best, they have to fight for it. They don't have the mettle to fight for it, apparently.

I'll admit. It was a thin pretense to post Natashia.

He doesn't have the capacity to see that this is equally historic and ina sense more so, since this person will sit on scotus for a generation.

And your evidence for this assessment of his lack of 'capacity' is? Source, please?

btw, speechwriters provide the fancy words. The President provides the imagination.

I love Dick -- he IS a wartime consigliere!

He even kind of looks like Robert Duvall, doesn't he. And he seems to enjoy it so much!

I say its time to do what the Politicians don't seem to be able to do.

MAKE A PROMISE

So here is my Promise.

1) I promise not to vote GOP or DEM in 2006 and 2008 should we lose the battle for SCOTUS by not placing Pro-Lifers to the Bench.

2) I will not Break my promise no matter what special interests surface between now and 2008. I will not sell out no matter what, be it loss of job, money, economy, health, or even life or limb.

3) I will remind every other pro-lifer between now and then of the sell out (should it occur) so that our collective memories don't fade.

Sheep on the right, goats on the left...

Ping this...

I thought they would prefer an ultra-liberal judge, beyond any current Supreme Court justice? Having ONE of them on the bench is OK in my opinion, but no more.

Moveon would nominate Dershowitz, Larry Summers or David Boies--and that is the centrist list!

Headlines in the NYT's:

"Capture of Bin Laden designed to take the heat off Karl Rove"

I second your pick of Mark Levin. Wish that was all it took to get him nominated :)

And, with 55 Republicans in the Senate, there are no more excuses left for Bush and the Republicans not keeping their promise to appoint Scalia-like originalists. If they don't keep their promise this time, I can only imagine a loss of millions of voters.
