Outstanding! I am tired of all the carping of people who elected Bush to noinate the "right" people to the Supreme Court and then complain when he does it. Just because "they" don't know her, doesn't mean the man who nominated her doesn't. If you trusted Bush in the election to nominate Conservative, Stict Constructionists to the court in 2004, what has changed? Nothing.
I may not agree with Bush on everything, but there are several things I know with confidence
1. He will never pull out of the war on terror. And by pull out I don't mean the Bill Clinton/Blue dress variety.
2. He will never nominate someone to the bench who is not a true believer in Strict Constructionism and knows the place of the court in the Citizen's protection FROM the government, not from each other (ie Social Engineering).
That's good enough for me. Harriett, I don't know you, but you must be a very nice woman who has proven herself to MY LEADER. I trust him, ergo, I trust you. Fight the good fight. Be humble. Remember that you are there to protect the people from the government. And finally, use some God-given common sense. You'll do fine.

Well put!
