In post #37 you state ... "What Bush DID say was that he intended to appoint Supreme Court justices "... in the mold of Scalia and Thomas...""
Would you have a link to a verifiable source that references that quote?
I haven't checked it "all the way back to Bush", but statements to that effect have appeared in multiple media postings here at FR, and at "reputable blogs" like Powerline.
Now, I know that the SAM (stone age media) often gets it wrong, but multiple "trustworthy" bloggers have also used it, and they are usually more careful with their facts.
