We're not talking the "techinicals" of who officially replaced who. We're saying that Robert's was intended to replace O'Conner (a moderate for a moderate). But since Rhenquist died, Roberts was bumped over to Rhenquists seat for convenience sake.

You gotta look at the net results. Bush is replacing one moderate and one conservative with one moderate and one conservative -- AND WE SHOULD NOT LET THE MEDIA SPIN IT THE OTHER WAY as if Bush was somehow moving the court to the right!

Thank you!!! That is the point I've been trying to make all day. The fact of the matter is that the court is pretty much staying with the current balance and we shouldn't let the democrats spin it like their has been some sort of right wing coup.

If the court had been shifted hard to the right by these two nominations then I certainly wouldn't have any problem with it, but since that is not the case, we shouldn't let the democrats spin this into something that's it's not.

That is it. Amazing how some of these people can't see that and take the basic line of what the MSM and Bush say without thinking it through.

Contrary to the hysteria, Bush, the MSM and these limited minds by some FR members, ............ as you say, one moderate and one conservative was replaced with one moderate and one conservative.
