I guess I don't know the entire story on this lady, but I have to give the President the benefit of the doubt and hope that he knows her as well as he says he does. I was really hoping for a Janice Rogers Brown, but we didn't get that. I really wanted a fight with the Dem's but given the pitiful preformance by the Republicans in the Senate, in support of this President, I can't really blame him for trying to go with what he thought was a safe pick. I'm really really torn. Heck, the guy has a full plate, as it is, so I can see on one hand, but I really really wanted a fight and stuff it down the Dem's throats. Hopefully, she will be a good conservative and then Bush will get to appoint another justice next year, and he goes with Brown or Gonzales. That would be way cool.
IMO, These hearings may be a disaster.
No you don't have to give benefit of doubt, you choose to ignore facts.
