What does Bush need to do now? Pick another John Roberts - not a firebrand ideologue like Luttig or Janice Rogers Brown.

I respectively disagree. We cannot allow the rats and rinos to dictate who sits on the Supreme Court. If this battle isn't fought now, it will never be fought. Far too long we have acquiesed to the rats and rinos and what has it gotten us? A 90+ confirmation vote on Ginsberg. I'm sick of our civility. Fight now or destroy the future of Republican party over this. There is no other option. If Bush betrays us again, and seeks Reid's pre-approval over OURS, he will pay the politcal price again.

And not only that, it will end the Republican party. There is no point to being a Republican if our president cannot appoint a conservative justice to the Supreme Court.

None of us care if the Senate has to be shut down for an entire year over this. They'll vote the nominee in as soon as a BUDGET has to be passed. If that takes a month, a year, or never, I don't care.

Bush needs to keep his promise to us and stop playing games. I'm sick of the ninnies and the twits dictating policy. Fight or give birth to a third party that will respect it's conservative base. Many of us have had enough and I promise you it has nothing to do with being a Christian.

It's not a fight I am interested in. Janice Rogers Brown and Littig are outside the mainstream of even conservative jurisprudence. Call me a Democrat if you like - I've been called worse things.

A 90+ confirmation vote on Ginsberg.

That's because, regardless of her politics, she is qualified to sit on the Supreme Court. She is a sharp legal mind, even if one with whom I have sharp disagreements.

Glad you don't care. I do. Our troops need money. The Katrina victims need money. The essential functions of government require money.

Fight or give birth to a third party that will respect it's conservative base.

Good luck; American politics functions at the center.
