It's not meaningless, who Roberts is replacing. This is Chief Justice stuff.

I still say that he is replacing O'Conner's seat and Renquist's role.

[RoseofTexas]

Pleaseeeeeeeeeeee, I just got home and I'm going through some posts here, WHAT DID Graham say that was so FAB? I'm dying to know!!

[WeddingPlanner]

I have never been more proud of Lindsey than I am right now. He just ROCKED!

[mwl1]

TV challenged -- not clear as to what exchange provoked Senator Graham into the Ginsberg disclosure.

[Cyber Liberty]

Nope. O'Connor is going to stay until the second justice is appointed.

[auboy]

I might get label as a toadist for using the word cold.

Am I guilty of a toad crime?

It's not meaningless, who Roberts is replacing. This is Chief Justice stuff.

What I mean is that I don't believe in quotoas, i.e. replacing a lib with a lib, or a woman with a woman, or a Black with a Black. I believe they are not replacing anyone, they are joining because they are the Presidents choice, period.

[NeoCaveman]

Nope. O'Connor is going to stay until the second justice is appointed.

It figures she would.

Her last decision, is like all her other ones - outcome based.

[Mister Baredog]

The fight is going to be dirty and long.

Bring it on, I'm always happier when the libs are going bananas, it befits them.LMAO

Dear Senator Graham,

Thank you, Sir, for shoving Bader-Ginsberg right down their throats.

I have never witnessed such disrespectful, rude and vicious behavior on the part of the democrats. They should be ashamed, but like Bill Clinton, they lack that capability.

Sincerely and with profound thanks to you,

Name
Address

ABA up first

LOL-LOL-LOL

Better a toad than a FROG.

[jackbill]

I'm watching C-SPAN and one of the witnesses that is going to testify against Roberts is on.

She described herself as a pilgrim.

This is gonna be good.

In view of yesterday's Pledge of Allegiance decision, I don't expect her to be very well received.

[onyx]

5 minute limit.

[sanjacjake]

Whatever role he takes..he will be in charge....
Just hope he is in sync with Judge Scalia and
Thomas....Jake

[Cyber Liberty]

Oh, I missed your point. Sorry.

I also hate appointments by Book of World Records: First Black this, First female that, First black female the other thing.

[ChadGore]

ABA up first.

"My best guess is late Spetember, after Roberts is reported out of Committee or after his floor vote."

I would like to see it as soon as Roberts is confirmed Bush announces the next one. This will drive the RATS up the wall.

[gopwinsin04]

My guess is 85-15/90-10, but I could be wrong

[Chuck54]

I think it will be of interest to watch closely the facial expressions of each speaker.

Betcha absolutely none of the Democratic speakers so much as smiles.

Watch closely.
