It was reported earlier another nomination will likely be coming as early as Monday. I have almost decided that as long as it isn't Gonzales all will be good. Of course he is "obligated" by his campaign promises of a strict constructionist so I hope Gonzales is out of the picture. Whoever it is will be fun to watch because things are going to get ugly after Roberts sailed through so fast. I would bet we will see a woman for sure, the only question is who ?

I know who it aint gonna be if he got my email. That job would take time away from my hobbies and I thought the noble thing to do was to disqualify myself before he got embarrassed by asking me then being rejected.  Sorry George, I'm busy.  Maybe The_Red_Goat is available.

I was suprised at how easy it was to get Roberts through.

Who ever is chosen had better be as squeeky clean as roberts, because whoever it is, is going to be raked through the coals with alot more media intensity than we have seen in the last two weeks.

Bush should nominate someone that the left hates with a passion. Because you know if the tables were reversed, the left would be rubbing our faces in it and nominating far, far left judges. I frankly dont know why we have to cower to the lefties. WE won the elections not them.

Yup.

He's going to choose a "minority".

The second qualfication will be that she/he has a "centrist" political view.

Narrow construction of the constitution according to the intent of its writers will be an immediate disqualification.

What we DON'T need is endless intellectual reasoning, no matter how lucid it might be.

We need a SC Judge of ACTION. Someone who will declare Quebec unConstitutional, then when Canada bitches, launch an air strike.

We need a SC Judge who will put a reloading press next to their gavel, and hurl Chinese throwing stars at ambulance chasers who bring up cases like "I am ENTITLED to $800 worth of cellphone service a month" or "Cheez Whiz made me fat"

We need an SC Judge who will throw the whole damn Dept of Transportation out the window and declare 55MPH to be the MINIMUM speed. In school zones.

We need a SC Judge who will uphold "Merrell vs. the grocery stores" and order a "Guys only/cash only/people who can count only" checkout lane at the Piggly Wiggly.

Lastly, we need a Judge who cares.

I think the choice is clear... Justice Jennifer, may I serve under you?

A white male who is known for strict interpretation of the Constitution would NEVER pass the current US Senate.

A black female who is known for strict interpretation of the Constitution MAY pass the current US Senate.

First off, it won't actually be President Bush who makes the nomination. It will be all of his advisors.

Pres. Bush does not know himself enough to make the proper determination on who "his" nomination will be.

It will be the "product" of his administration.

I think John Roberts was a good choice. IIII would like to see another John Roberts.***

Whether Pres. Bush's advisors will give us another John Roberts remains to be seen.

I guarantee you, he/she will not be who President Bush might "nominate" himself.



More than anything else, I would like someone who is pro-2nd Amendment.

(Do we even know if John Roberts is Pro2?***)

You take the "bite" out of the Constitution...and the rest is history....

But will she get the nomination? I don't think so. Look at the fight she had already.

The Dumbocrats still have the power (TG*) to throw a monkey wrench into the works.



*Thank Goodness- that would be the checks and balances built into our wacky form of Government.

I don't care about your gender or ethnicity, just are you going to uphold the Constitution and the "Law of the Land" based upon the words of the Founders AND are you an American?

And believe me, I don't like FeinSchumKenn, but, I will grant them their "say".... and they represent 49.9% of this country's voice.

I suspect that the views here are not (percentagewise) reflective of the country as a whole. Sorry.

I would like another "John Roberts" as long as he/she is PRO-2!!!!!

(The other "rights" I will fight for as necessary) because....

WHAT IS RIGHT IS NOT ALWAYS LEGAL AND WHAT IS LEGAL IS NOT ALWAYS RIGHT.

There's an invalid assumption there. They represent the 49.9% who hold that no man has any rights the government or political majority declines to recognize, not in his property, his religion, his mode of dress, or his life. They are not entitled to be heard or respected.

People who reject the fundamental notion that humans have rights beyond the reach of the majority are not entitled to pimp their ideology.

Ashcroft would be a very bad choice. He is a social conservative, but no constitutionalist - let alone a strict constructionist. Does the Orgegon Assisted Suicide law ring a bell? Ashcroft will happily piss on the Constitution if that will promote his agenda.

I'll go with Brown also.  The only Libs who will be able to oppose her and get away with it are the usual suspects-Schumer, Kennedy,  Kerry, Feinstein, Clinton, et. al.  the rest of the Dems will be to scared to vote nay.  Brown it is.

Remember-the Dems are the party who cares about Blacks.

Taken from here saveourcourts.civilrights.org/nominees/details.cfm?id=31934

It is a Libetard website but it is still informative because everything they think is negative is actually whay makes her great. Here is a sample:

"Justice Brown's record of injecting her virulently antigovernment views into her opinions is particularly troublesome"

"Brown has often been the lone justice to dissent on the California Supreme Court, illustrating that her judicial philosophy is outside the mainstream" If she was against the Kalifornia mainstream then she must be right person for the job.

DISDAINS GOVERNMENT AND ADVOCATES THE DEMISE OF THE NEW DEAL
Justice Brown equates democratic government with "slavery," claims that the New Deal "inoculated the federal Constitution with a kind of collectivist mentality," calls Supreme Court decisions upholding the New Deal "the triumph of our own socialist revolution," accuses social security recipients of "blithely cannibaliz[ing] their grandchildren because they have a right to get as much 'free' stuff as the political system permits them to extract," and advocates returning to the widely discredited, early 20th century Lochner era, where the Supreme Court regularly invalidated economic regulations, like workplace protections. "Where government moves in," Justice Brown declares, "community retreats, civil society disintegrates, and our ability to control our own destiny atrophies. The result is: families under siege; war in the streets; unapologetic expropriation of property; the precipitous decline of the rule of law; the rapid rise of corruption; the loss of civility and the triumph of deceit. The result is a debased, debauched culture which finds moral depravity entertaining and virtue contemptible."

ETA: The end of the above paragraph sounds like an accurate description of New Orleans to me.

i think bush has pretty much shown he doesn't give a rat's ass about the people who elected him. he's done after this so he's looking at his place in history and wants to be the "great appeaser", an extremely common medical condition in the dickless republican party.

having said that, i hope he picks ashcroft but there ain't a snowball's chance in hell of that happening...
