1)The Meir's pick is a lost opportunity, but that's not to say there won't be other opportunities and she may very well turn out to be a good pick.
2)Many people have worked hard for many years to get the Dems out of the house, senate and win the Presidency and they had accomplished that. The last bastion of liberalism was the Supreme court. It's a 'liberal culture' that Bush had the opportunity to break and he may have thrown that opportunity away.
3)He should have nominated someone like Janice Rogers Brown and let the Kennedy's, Schumer's and the like throw a hissy fit in front of the nation thus educating the voters on was the Democrat party really stands for.
You don't think they'll throw a fit about Meyers?
I look forward to the day when Kennedy, Schumer and the like throw a hissy fit right on the committee in front of the whole nation. That to me will be enough proof that she is qualified, and that Liberals survive on emotion alone. I've said from the word "go" that the Left's praise is more or less false praise. Once the dirt piles up, you'll see alot of these same Democrats who've been praising her publically will be doing 180's right before our eyes and ears.
While I agree he should have nominated JRB. Won't happen. President Bush doesn't have a "warrior" in the Senate who will go to bat for him to fight the fight we all long for.
