YOU aren't staffing the court. It is not your choice. A lot of conservatives think they are voting for representative on the court. They aren't. The President picks them and he is the only one who does. Don't like it? Run for President.
Quite an elitist argument, and precisely the issue. Would that Mr. Bush would learn to waltz with those who brought him to the dance.
In any case, I have no intention of supporting an unqualified nominee. If persuasion of wobbly or Dem senators is required, Mr. Bush is on his own. And to that extent, yes, I do have a vote.
Perhaps it will make no difference, but it is a far more principled stand, in favor of seeing that this country has the very best available, than that taken by Mr. Bush.
