Easy to say. But what do you do with a divided caucus? The simple fact is that the Conservatives did not win enough seats in the Senate. If they had taken Louisiana and Colorado, would any of this have happened?

I wouldn't. Then again, I'm not on any such list either.

Ever since Brandeis, there's been the tradition of a "Jewish seat" on the court. I have no doubt we're going to have the Court carved up according to identity politics eventually.

And you are assuming that there were 25 nominees on the list!!! I doubt that they were that many. I will say five or six, maximum 10.

Then, expand the names on the list and keep going until you find a known originalist ready to accept the nomination.

Heck, nominate someone like Mark Levin who would love to take on Senators in such a hearing.

It's called misinformation being released to try to justify the lack of principle in the administration. First, it was because there weren't enough Senators to approve an open originalist. That didn't fly. So, now this is the excuse.

You must, of course, be speaking of the "embattled Senator Clinton."

I'm telling you, folks..."embattled" works.

Don't you believe Dobson spoke up without permission from Rove to do so.

I believe Dobson is wrestling with the idea that Rove and the Whitehouse lied to him.

Cronyism is real serious.

Sexism is not.

bottom line: affirmative action is NOT a conservative principle

Nope. But it's a "pandering tool" no politician seems to want to give up.

Yeah - that would kinda suck. Hitlery in 2008 with Ginsberg and Stevens still on the Court.

There are NO RINOs on FR. We're all battle-hardened, right-wing wacko conservatives!!

YES!! We ALL want originalist Justices -- we are disagreeing on strategery and tactics, not goals!

BTW, Jim, thank you for allowing this important debate to proceed. There have been heated emotions and lots of flame, but it will only make us all stronger.

We all worked hard to elect the President, and with the possible exception of the WOT these SCOTUS nominations are THE most important issue for most of us. Since the President has the sole power of appointment, we can only hope he won't violate our trust. I believe he knows Harriet Miers and he'll keep his word on this. If not -- then he will go down as a turncoat and all of us who supported him last year will feel complete betrayal. Unless and until that happens, though, I'm lashed to the ship he commands!!

It's not only the Liberals these people feared! Don't confuse our Conservative gods with facts, their pinheads are made up.

Pray for W and Harriet Myway Miers

...and what weasel traitor provided those emails to Newsweak?? Sad to think that someone entrusted with advising our president at the level of SCOTUS nominations would betray such confidences to Newsweak, but that is what our moral culture as sunk to....

So why should we be afraid of little dumocrat and rino nobodies?

It isn't just the libs that we are fighting

It seems the Pat crowd is hell bent on getting their way

And in the end ... we will all be left with nothing ... because for them .. it is all or nothing

"A+Bert will be crushed you didn't mention him!"

LOL, I was never much of an A+Bert fan. He was just a tab too much for me, pretty much skipped his posts.

You've hit the nail on the head.

Our nation's system of justice is left up to quotas imposed according to race, sex, and religion.

What would John Marshall think?

*sigh*

Do you even know who James Dobson is?

Well, I guess I do, ma'am---"Focus on the Family"? But just because he's not in office, tho' politically involved and powerful, he's not a politician?
