They are absolutely losing it on DU - it's hilarious - reminds me of the great depression of election night! :))

YESSSSS!!!!! (My scream - even louder than Howard Dean's)

Nothing wrong with holding Bush's feet to the fire.

However, give credit where it is due, this is a great pick. Far more conservative than I expected.

Overturning Roe wouldn't stop abortion or make it illegal either

very true. well I'm off to spy on the enemey camp at DU.

I understand your point of view, but don't get ahead of yourself. Your statement had two big IFs:

1. If its Clement
2. If she turns out to be a moderate

Right now we don't know if number 1 is correct...and we are a long time for judging if 2 is correct.

Was it one of Nixion's two failed picks? (I think he ended getting Lewis Powell on the court). Clement Haysworth? maybe? or something like that.

It would be good to get a new GOP Secretary of State. Only a few years ago, this state had only one GOP statewide official - Phil Bryant at State Auditor.

Today we have Governor, Lt. Governor, State Treasurer, State Auditor, and Ag Commissioner.

Sandra Day O'Connor and Hugo Black could be added to the list.

Finally??!!

I predict Pete Coors wins in Colorado and Denise Majette wins in Georgia.

How did this gomber get even get elected Speaker of the House? I think he represents classic bad o'boy politics in a new, better, more Republican era of Mississippi politics.

I agree - the most thuggist behavior I ever witness in school was between the 5th and 9th grades.

This House bill is a sham.

Judges in Mississippi are elected on a non-partisan basis, but Diaz was appointed to fill an open seat on the MS Supreme Court by now former Democratic Governor Ronnie Musgrove.

Agreed. The 5th Circuit is one of the more conservative ones.

Actually, I think Michael Howard has put the Conservative Party in the best position that it has been in years.
