William Kristol and others always assume they know more than the man in charge.

Bill Krystol said it very eloquently re Gonzales:
"YIKES!!"

Kristol really, really, wants to be "right" on Gonzales. I think he might be right if Stephens retires but not until/if then.

If its Gonzales..the pocket book and my families votes dissappear. I like most conservatives will self insure.

He was right on O'Connor retiring instead of Rehnquist...let's hope he's not right now...

If Gonzales were about the 5th GWBush confirmed nominee he might THEN be right, ---- as long as the others were authentic conservatives, and if he were replacing Ruth Bader Ginsberg or Jean Paul Stevens, ---- as long as Justices Scalia and Thomas also still remained on the bench.....
One could wish...

I'm not personally a big fan of Bill Kristol, but he is a good political analyst. I'd take this editorial very seriously.
Bush always bears watching. Some people have too much faith in him. It certainly won't hurt to put pressure on him, if done properly.
To: FReethesheeples
I think conservatives need to focus more on changing the direction of the courts through the legislative branch. We didn't just win majorities in government so we can hope and pray we appoint conservative judges. I'm tired of asking the courts "mother, may I".

If Bush nominated someone like Roberts for the O'Connor slot once, why does Bill think that he wouldn't do it again? He can be so annoying at times.

ditto. Its a shame that we must lose sleep over his decision making capability. The border, etc.??.It sometimes feels like the lost opportunity period of his father and even the last 3 years of Reagan...only..he's not Reagan so we have legitimate concerns.

Kristol is correct that the short term political advantage lies with choosing someone acceptable to the left.
I personally think Bush will take the long view, and put up a fight for the person he thinks is most likely to move the court in the direction he wants. The Bushes may have some wierd relationship with the Clintons, but W is not Bill. My money is on Bush doing what he thinks is best, not what is easy or politically expedient.
