First the WH is accused of wanting Lott out of the ML position and that is probably correct. Now, why would Lott go hat in hand to BET on WH "orders" if he had no guarantee that the WH would lend it's support to kep his position? Answer; the WH had already washed its hands of Lott and did not order him to do anything. Lott went on BET on his own and as a hail Mary attempt to keep his job. The WH had NO interest in rehabilitating Lott as ML so they had NO motive to "order" him to try. I was one of the most vehement critics of how Lott was lynched but he did absolutely NOTHING to defend himself and his BET appearance reminded me of why I didn’t like or respect him before this came up.
The WH has now placed all of the real conservative judges back into play that will have a REAL effect on the Affirmative Action issue and no one has the analytical ability to see that that is far more important than joining an insignificant court case that will have no real impact on AA at all. The real political courage is that Bush has re-submitted these judicial candidates defying the liberal’s, and my, certainty that he would never dare do such a thing after Lott.

Let's wait and see what Bush does in the affirmative action cases. If you're right, he'll take a stand against affirmative action. I hope you're right.
