President Bush has chosen federal appeals court judge John G. Roberts Jr. as his nominee to the Supreme Court, a senior administration official says...
I wouldn't be so quick to celebrate. Bush nominated a white for this pick, which means it is a virtual certainty that a non-white will be picked to replace Rhenquist. So say hello to Chief Justice Alberto Gonzalez.
This could work out well! Bush can appoint a female (Brown, Owen, or Jones) the next time. If the Rats filibuster this time, they'll lose because the nuke option will be invoked. That will remove it from their arsenal next time. If they don't filibuster this time, and try to "save" it for next time, they'll have a hard time justifying a filibuster against a woman when they didn't filibuster Roberts. Especially if the woman is replacing Rehnquist, a conservative male.
If this is the case, I was way off the scent trail....thinking he would nominate a female. Oh well, this should be a slam dunk for conservatives.
PRAISE JESUS
" I APPROVE!"
OMG he clerked for Rhenquist? Kennedy and company will be apoplectic...I love it. Can you hear Boxer wailing........ABORTION! lol
I thought Hillary was the smartest lawyer in America...
I'M HERE TO APOLOGIZE. If this is accurate I say WOW! The DUers btw are suicidal right now. It's hilarious.
This white guy would have been elated if it was J. R. Brown
I don't like his position on illegal Searches in violation of the 4th Amendment.
Excellent choice.
Thank God.
My question, too. What's his stand on the 2nd Amendment?
This is the worst US Supreme Court nominee ever! How dare you insinuate otherwise, j. :) Hehe!
There are reasons why it's better to win elections than to lose them.
""Trust me the Buchananites and third party voters on FR will be rushing in to tell us this is the worst US Supreme Court nominee ever.""
they have to...they made so much noise that Bush is gonna sell out the base, that they cannot now say his pick is acceptable
Then I like him already.
That is ALL I need to know.
