ABC News Radio-10:00 CST-Bush has decided on Supreme Court nominee. Spector called to WH tonight to discuss. Expected to be "mainstream".

[rwfromkansas]

interesting

[marmar]

Edith Jones....or Edith Brown Clement.........I pray.

[zarf]

I hear Edith Clement specializes in maritime law. No one knows much else about her. May not be a good thing.

The Mormons are a minority that are severely misrepresented at the Federal level,

Mormons are highly regarded by the FBI because of their reputation for honesty and work ethic.

[jveritas]

Any information on Edith Jones or Edith Clement? Are they conservative enough for the vast majority of us, excluding the Buchananites?

[Archon of the East]

Given mainstream means far left, I really hope this is just word game.

[Rokurota]

Maritime law? As in pirates and such, mate?

[Texasforever]

You have it in your power to save thousands of unborn lives

How? Overturning R v W will not eliminate a single abortion.

[Big Guy and Rusty 99]

property rights? oh, archie . . .

[rwfromkansas]

ditto. Rove would still be an informal advisor anyway.

[tomkat]

You gotta be f'n kiddin' me ???

[scott says]

It sure would be, I don't think they will do that, but I get a little nervous at the sound of "mainstream" choice. But as I said, its ABC news, can you really trust anything those hacks say?

[Rightwing Conspiratr1]

We need a "Mormon seat" on the SCOTUS. How about Orin Hatch? The Mormons are a minority that are severely misrepresented at the Federal level, although the Fed Govt owns more than half the state of Utah.

I'd rather have Donny Osmond than Orin Hatch.

[va4me]

I think it will be Judge Reinhold.

[churchillbuff]

if he nominates special prosecutor Fitzgerald, does that let Rove off the hook?

[writmeister]

I read that Clement is a member of the Federalist Society -- that is usually a good sign.

[jveritas]

Man that is funny beyond belief. LMAO. Is he really a county clerk?

[AmericanInTokyo]

One thing is sure, President Bush has already made his choice.

Now it is for us all Freepers to hold our breaths...and watch...and wait.

It will be interesting to see how this President goes.

If it is a RINO, right down the middle, what will Freepers do? I know the Republicans-Firster's here certainly will march right behind as usual. Wonder what the Conservatives will do, though.

Tick, tock, tick, tock....

[msnimje]

I wonder if her name fits with the sentence, "------, Stifle Yourself"
