Well easymoney, it takes an even braver man to stand out in the open and be willing to risk it all for life and limb. "There is no greater gift than to lay down you life for another"...as a Special Operations Pilot and having see many a fierce battle to rescue just one person...I've proven myself...what do you stand on or for...Easy Money?
I would love to see Pat Leahy impaled on a chair.
Well, the dye is cast.....the choice is made, if you are into praying it had to be done before now. I have to trust God to have given W wisdom.
And be re-aired, and re-aird, and re-aired, and... (you get the drift). Meanwhile, outside of C-SPAM (and maybe not even them), the unvarnished Presidential address will only be covered live.
The Phrase "Roe is settled law" means far less than it implies.
Right now, Today, Roe is settled law. That doesnt mean however, should a Different Case, with different facts come before the court that an analagous case wouldnt be decided differently.
the "Roe is Settled Law" is one of the undignified shibboleths that conservative nominees must put up with in the name of duty.
No More, No less.
Well, it was a good run while it lasted.
People who want everything, now, just do not understand the politics not just of the Court, but of the Congress, the Presidency, all the way down to electing a Dogcatcher in Dover, Delaware.

That makes millions of us. It would be counterproductive for pro-lifers to vote Republican if Bush breaks his promise on this issue. It would waste of time, money and effort.
Good Oliver – We’re getting the best of all worlds … a solid conservative who presents a likable, non-threatening image. Bush is no fool. He has no doubt run this pick by key pro-lifers and gotten the go ahead. Her confirmation is practically a done deal, which means Bush can save the fireworks for replacing Rehnquist and/or Stevens.
Bad Oliver – The fact that we’re even having to discuss whether she is conservative enough means she is the wrong person. This is O’Connor all over again … “She’ll be fine, Reagan wouldn’t have picked her if she wasn’t conservative, etc., etc.” She was highly recommended for the Appeals Court by Breaux and Landrieu for crying out loud.
How about Garza, please?
I think you have posted some of the most reasoned thought on this thread - Bush is clear in his thinking about these matters and his prior picks at the other levels have been genius. I've read other things about Clement that tell me he knows more about her than the average joe, too - her "maritime law" experience actually translates to oil rigs in the gulf coast and she's apparently well known in Texas circles. She (Clement) also has other ties to the Bush clan - the CONSERVATIVE circles close to W, not the elder's - and they give her top credentials.
I know!
I thought this was a live srotum thread
I'm hoping President Bush nominates G. Gordon Liddy, just to watch the fur fly in confirmation hearings.
>>The only way you change Roe is to change the culture.<
Ann is right:

I love it when you post stuff like that; it makes you look like the fool that you are.
Yes. Harold Carswell may have been the worst nominee never to make it to SCOTUS. Believe he was later arrested on a morals charge in Florida.
