Reagan got Antonin Kennedy through in 1988 with a Democratic Senate.

RATS will tie up all appellate judges but will not risk a vacancy on the USSC for political backlash.

Bush will likely nominate Alberto Gonzales who despite what a lot of people here think, has a pretty good record from the Texas Supreme Court of voting more originalist than liberal.

"Antonin" wrote the Kelo decision. That same Senate Borked Bork.

I like your use of "Antonin" though. Is he a friend of Borat? Regardless, he ruled that "all your eminent domain are belong to us, comrade."

We don't need any more "Antonins" or any other Commie takers of private property on SCOTUS, thank you very much.

Dems won't be able to block Janice Rogers Brown or a conservative Hispanic. Basically, it comes down to, does Bush have the gall to nominate a conservative minority, because that's what it will take. NOT Alberto Gonzales!
