When has any Republican showed that kind of willingness to fight? It's not going to happen. If you were the President, you would have to face that fact. By the way, what do you know about this nominee that suggests she doesn't have a good conservative philosophy? I will wait to learn. If she does not have a conservative philosophy, then I'll protest.
Oh, that's cute. Protest Souter while you're at it...for what good that will do.
You ask me how do I know she isn't a conservative? It's not a question that conservatives should have been put in a position to answer.
Even the liberal Republicans know that Bush owed conservatives an unambiguous nominee.
