Thanks for the link Ace. My opinion on this is that it was a very bold, and wise move. Robert's, as much as the left want to attack him, has a clean record. Nothing is sticking, and they were about to cave in on his nomination soon anyway. This will keep from having three fights...down to two. It amazes me how they alway underestimate Bush's political skills.

Janice Rogers Brown. Please Bush!!!!

Nominate Janice Rogers Brown.

Ah. I read some of Janice Rogers Brown's prior statements when she was up before committee. She's my current favorite judge. But she's waaaaaaaay to the libertarian right. Bush would have to have Giant Clanky Ones of Steel to try it.

<crosses fingers>

I propose a simple five-step process:

1) Nominate Ann Coulter
2) Sit back and watch the left go bat shit crazy for six weeks.
3) When they're exhausted, find some reason to withdraw the nomination
4) Let the moonbats declare victory
5) After the deranged left victory striptease and poo flinging oarty winds down, nominate Janice Rogers Brown. She'll appear moderate by comparison and the howling monkeys will be too tired to put up anything more than token resistance.

Karl Rove's Evil Twin is my new hero.

After all, Democrats demanded an ideological clone for O'Connor's replacement; surely they similarly demand a Rehnquist-like nominee now.

Ace, you just don't understand the ways of the activist mind. You see, Bush has nominated the ultra-conservative Roberts to replace Rehnquist (thus showing that he wants to move the court EVEN FURTHER TO THE RIGHT!), so it's just the minimally fair thing to do - not fair, really, but less of an OUTRAGE - to now appoint a centrist for O'Connor's seat. A moderate, someone with mainstream middle-America views. Someone like Ginsburg, for example.

"After all, Democrats demanded an ideological clone for O'Connor's replacement; surely they similarly demand a Rehnquist-like nominee now."

Oh, that is so cold.

Janice Rogers Brown please please please.
