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.

I disagree. I think they DID think it through, came up with a candidate who a)can be approved, b)will not veer left and c)will adhere to the word and letter of the Constitution including overturning Roe if given a chance.

Do you have any evidence this is not so?

This is the part that her supporters are so glib about - that Constitutional law just means following the letter of the Constitution. Fact is, most SC cases that are constitutional involve conflicts between competing clauses in the Constitution. Sorting that out require a lot of hard thinking and arguing to get it right and convince others you are right. Knee-jerk conservatism is not a reliable guide.
