(Bush has privately interviewed the guy and trusts him.)
He also looked into the eyes of Putin and trusted him. It is arrogant of a person to think that they know what's in a person's soul. I prefer hard evidence that is ample in judger Brown's case. Why didn't Bush nominate her? She would have destroyed what remains of the Democrat party. I don't see much hard evidence in this case.
He was on the list as was Luttig, Edith Jones and others. I read his name many times during the last month on numerous conservative websites and blogs.
