First, I believe Rush is wrong on this and she will turn out as a pleasant surprise for conservatives. Second, I also believe Bush will have the opportunity to select one more Justice before his term is over. Just a hunch...
Maybe Bush will let Rush select a justice!
I'm on record with two....
With Ginsburg having health problems and Stevens at age 85, that prediction is really going out on a limb. ;-)
I agree.
And remember, Rush is a warrior. He wanted a fight with the Dems.
Plus, if there was a Clarence Thomas / Robert Bork kind of fight, his ratings would go through the roof.
If there is not a big battle, then his ratings stay at a traditional off-election year level.
Rush is simply blustering. He will support her as he does everything else Big Government George proposes, either explicitly or be his silence.
Why do we keep getting nominees that may or may not become "pleasant suprises"? We voted President Bush in because he promised us judicial nominees in the mold of a Thomas or Scalia. There were plenty of qualified people who fit the bill and were not "stealth" nominees. Why is our President so prone to being cowed by the dems and rinos in the senate?
I agree with you, Rush MAY be wrong on this one. To his credit, and a fact everyone seems to miss, Rush stated he did not know this person and knew very little about her. I wouldn't want to be in a poker game with George Bush. This may be an end run around a terrible Senate blast with the result being a true constructionist nominee gaining a seat on the Supreme Court.
" also believe Bush will have the opportunity to select one more Justice before his term is over"
That's the inside-the-beltway buzz.
I think that Rush is wrong on this, also. Considering the fact that Meirs has been heading Bush's selection committee on judges, I don't see how anyone could doubt her conservative ideology. All Meirs lacks is a national reputation.
I agree....I am trusting GW to do the right thing....
