President Bush is NOT going to nominate a pro-abortion person -- it is not going to happen. Why are you folks to quick to be taken in that he is going to nominate Gonzales when he is already Attorney General and has only been there for a short time?
People are stirring the pot with Gonzales. This is just like in 2000 I wrote a long vanity on why Pres Bush was NOT going to make a pro-abortion person his VP. I was right then and I am right now -- he will not name a pro-abortion person to the SCOTUS. Who was the President who signed the bill immediately to end Partial Birth Abortion when it hit his desk and who is against using fetal stem cells in research? George W. Bush is who and people need to remember his stance in favor of pro-life -- there is no compromise on Supreme Court appointees for this President.
Bush may indeed nominate Gonzalez. If not Alberto, he will nominate some other conservative minority. The odds of a white conservative judge being confirmed is low. Bush doesn't have the balls to nominate the best judge. I see a lot of you saying this will be the "final straw" if Bush nominates Gonzalez. I have seen that written countless times over the past couple of years. My final straw was the "vigilant" comment. Count on republicans to blow another major opportunity here. They will cave as they do on everything else.
A little truth about this consistently pro-Life President (mixed in with the pot stirring going on) is refreshing. :o)
You are right. I'll put my money on it. President Bush values life.
I'm generally a Bush supporter. But this is a real possibility. I think we owe it to Bush to give him a warning what the consequences will be if he lets his friendship for Gonzalez outweigh his principles and his political sense.
If he doesn't nominate Gonzalez, fine. Then none of this warning criticism applies.
I had no objections to Gonzalez as Attorney General.
