He chose this woman because he trusts her to follow the Constitution, and because he knows her to be a woman of character.
He has spent much time on this decision, and there has been a lot of prayer going into this choice (from millions of us).
And frankly, I trust his character, because in 5 years he has given me no reason not to.
Okay. I guess we can always hope she is a strict Constitutionalist. Still don't understands why he could not choose someone with whom we know for sure.
I have no comfort that he's known her for years. GWB has been married to Laura for years and she's pro-choice.
