everything happens for a reason, if Miers did happen, would he have the base so energized and the moonbats freakin' out?

C. 1990

Senator Frank Lautenberg (D-N.J.): Alito is “the kind of judge the public deserves — one who is impartial, thoughtful, and fair.”

We need to let those three lose in order to break the Senate from its current malady. I want Chaffee, Collins and Snowe out, even if it means 6 years with Socialists, because as long as they are there, nothing gets better. We can take 6 years of idiots as long as they can be replaced later. Barring that, Conservatives should ALWAYS support their primary opponents.

Are there any judges that Bush has put up that have not proven to be conservative non-activist judges at the very least?

My point is that it is too early to know. For many, a judge's tenure on the bench can be an act of self discovery.

If Bush appointed judicial activists that just happen to tilt to the conservative side then we will be in trouble. It's not like we've had a chance to evaluate every one of Bush's nominees.

Mostly we've gone by trust but Miers showed us that Bush's was relying on Mier's political and personal views more than her judicial philosophy.

It is too soon to tell on Roberts too. He seems like he will be really good, but let's give a few years before we claim victory.

The only good thing that can be said about the RINO's having an "R" behind their name, It gives the good team control of the agenda and committees.

Do you feel that someone more conservative than Chaffee, Collins or Snowe could win a statewide election in those very blue states?

Catholics dominate SC. All the Evangelicals dissed.



Evangelical here, that couldn't care less. W was not nominating a Pastor or a Preacher, he was nominating a Supreme Court Justice.

O.K. I'VE DONE MY PART!

Wrote nice emails to my senators, especially to Sen John Warner (one of the gang of 7), BEGGING him to support this nominee. I also wrote to Sen Allen (with presidential aspirations). Also, sent an Alert email to my gang (to busy working to pay full attention to this details) asking them to do the same.

I've done MY PART, HOW ABOUT YOU????:)

W hath vindicated himself. Finally, he screwed-up his courage the way we knew he could.

The enemy will go bonkers trying to derail this, but it's already too late. Unless there's a stash of dead bodies in his basement, the left is going to have to grin and take a bite out the sh*t sandwich they're about to be fed.

Well, this is my letter to the RINOs. I hope they're being flooded day in and day out and rush the hearings just so their offices won't be mad houses anymore. 8)

Senator Specter,

I am hopeful that you will do all you can to support the nomination of Judge Samuel Alito to the United States Supreme Court. Judge Alito represents the clear majority of the American people, and his firm track record of constructionist judicial findings, also represent the clear majority of the American people, as well as keeping with the spirit and true intent of the Constitution and the founding fathers. He is also a fine representative of the majority that re-elected President Bush, who represent the majority of thought among the people of the United States, who wish to see the Constitution upheld, especially in light of the recent activist unConstitutional decisions which have come from he Supreme Court in recent years.

Judge Alito's confirmation will serve to return the U.S. Supreme Court to a body of enforcers of the Constitution, not a body of usurpers of the Constitution, who legislate from the bench with activist rulings as though the Supreme Court is an auxiliary legislative branch. Please vote in support of Judge Alito, so the American people can have a Supreme Court that represents them and the Constitution, not foreign precedent and liberal interpretations of what some wish the Constitution said, instead of what it actually does say. Thank you.

Chuckie is on practically crawling out of his skin. - interesting analogy; if this nuclear option is used, the democrats (as we know them) will never have a majority or president in my lifetime (next 40 years). If they desire any semblance of survival, they had better change/shed their current skin.

In MD conservatives call Paulie the "Stealth Senator". My parents live in MD and went to a local event this weekend and Sarbanes was there. My father called him that to his face. I love it!!

More likely, Stevens is next... But I wouldn't be surprised if Scalia steps down during Bush's term, in confidence of leaving the court in capable hands.

Very true. I have been keeping up with byrd and his numbers aren't too hot. What kind if coup would it be for the conservative movement if byrd was defeated? 8) That would be great. I guess then the democrats will have to find some other kkk member to be a Senator, so there is at least SOMEONE on the democrat side of the Senate that represents what the democrats REALLY think, and that reflects the history of the democrat party. 8)
