No I did not dodge the question. I challenged the entire strategy that the only thing at stake is to avoid another Souter.

I see two groups in strong support of her. First, those who think that anything Bush does is ok. Second, those who think that she will be the stealth candidate to overturn, e.g. Roe v Wade.

Well, for the most part Bush does very well when he and his team think through a strategy. He/they didn't think this one through. It happens, he/we should learn and move on.

Second, most of the SC decisions that will affect me and thee over the next 20 years are not Roe v Wade, but a lot of highly technical hard issues balancing one constitutional principle against another (if they are easy they are dealt with by lower courts except for the usual raft of per curiam decisions to smack down the loonies on the 9th circuit).
