If GWB was going to be a strong LEADER on this he would have submitted a strong conservative nominee with a long track record and been prepared to FIGHT for that nominee instead of trying to sneak another stealth nominee thru.

Suppose he had done that. How long do you think it would have been before they were actually confirmed?

Has this President ever fought, even once, for a specifically conservative position? And I mean it in the sense that he was a true leader, one who went up against the odds because of principle?
