Anyone who wants to be on the SCOTUS and gains someone like Chuckie as an ally, is very likely to end up a Souter clone.
As I said, and as you conveniently left off about what I said, think of the ramifications of doing the opposite of what your enemy says.
All Hillary and Schumer would have to do is say the opposite of what they want...and then you would go along with the opposite of that.
Isn't it better to think for ones self. To actually think that Schmucky knows more about Mier then us here on FR, is wrong.
There is only one way Hillary can win in '08. She needs enough conservatives to become dissatisfied with the R party to tilt the election in her favor. This is the strategy for the next three years. She and her ilk can not possibly win the presidency and even these SC battles taking the liberal approach. So instead they sweat talk the nominees, and cause people like you to think the opposite and to become dissatisfied.
As I said before think of the ramifications...and then think for yourself.

Talk about a fantasy delusion. The Dems know darn well GW would push it through no matter what his conservative base said. So if Harriet is truly the strict-constructionist that he claims she is they would knowingly be screwing themselves. As for Republican dissatisfaction with GW and the rest of the GOP leadership it's irrefutably 99% self-inflicted by GW/GOP spinelessness. The Dems don't have to do a thing.
