I was disappointed with this nomination too but when I think about it, it might just work out.

RINOs already came out against the strong conservative candidates. Even without a filibuster I don't know if Brown, Owens or Jones would have made it through. Would have been a great fight though.

However, if you are the President and you know in your heart you've got the most conservative of candidates and a strict constructionist(and one that even has swayed a few Democrats) then maybe you go for the easy win.

Time will tell very quickly with some key cases, such as partial birth abortion, coming to the Court.

I am disappointed also, I was hoping for a younger stronger obvious proven conservative.

BUT...

Thank God we are not dealing with a SCOTUS nomnination from a Prez John F Kerry. Excuse me, I have to go lay down for awhile and calm down after having to type that name.
