It might make some here feel better, but if Dubya KNOWS he made a good pick and she ends up doing a good job for us on the USSC, what does it matter? Why do we think it should be someone WE know?

Not necessarily someone WE know, but someone with a proven record....SOMETHING that CAN be known about such an important pick.

Because a SCOTUS pick is a political pick - not only for the future, but for now. Dividing your base unecessarily is stupid.

If (a big if) this nominee turns out to be OK, no one will remember so much where she came from. On the other hand, come election day 2006 and 2008 there are a lot of people who voted against Gore and Kerry who will be wondering why it was again.

One should consider how upset the dems are about this.......think about it.

She will NOT be easily derided. If Schumer gets his feathers ruffled.....or even cause him to appear as a deer in headlights.....I am encouraged....

NO RECORD...... As of this day, I consider this in a baseball context as a Bush pitched slider.....another unexpected pitch that leaves the left flailing their bats privately & wildly in the air........GRIN!!!!
