Conservatives react: "Aack!What's this stuff in my mouth?!?"
I don't like gambling when it's unnecessary. Bush blew his nominations big time and pissed away much of his base and with it his agenda for the next 2 years. He's done.
"She was co-chair of the Texas State Lottery Commissison!"
She was also on the board of directors of Exodus Ministries. I think that is the most eloquent evidence of her conservatism. Trust me, the gay lobby is going to launch a firestorm against her. I can just imagine Andrew Sullivan's reaction.
Tammy Bruce just said George Bush has turned into Jimmy Carter.
I don;t think its the same exodus ministries. I provided the link above.
I know some don't realize it, but Abortion is not the only subject that comes up to the Supreme Court.
Your right it was 88

ROFLMAO!
I thought it was up to the majority of the court which cases are accepted, not up to the C.J.
NOT THAT ONE. The Exodus Ministries dealing with Ex-Convicts. They help them get on their feet after being freed.
Exodus International????? What is that for those of us who do not know? Why are the liberals going to go ballistic? Give me cause for hope!
Please do some research before spouting that kind of nonsense.
Well hubba hubba, don't get your feathers ruffled.
She contributed to Gore's campaign in spite of being Bush's attorney and friend. With friends like that.....
Probably, the 2006 election will be settled in the next two weeks as completely tone deaf posters piss off every woman in America with their sexist comments.
Perhaps she is Souter in womans clothing, but I mean that in a GOOD way for us, think about it.
1) religious litmus test -- anyone who might hold sincere religious beliefs of the Christian variety need not apply;
2) She's never served on a court (uh, like 35 other supreme court justices who'd never before served on the bench)
I could be wrong, and certainly need more info, but it seems Bush is carefully selecting people who are held in high esteem by the Bar in general, who know how to "get along" in a highly liberal profession, and who have kept their noses mighty clean.
What good does it do if you've got a great conservative as a nominee, but they've got something on their record that can be spun on the vast MSM megaphone -- even though there's an unfair double standard (e.g., you can run a house of prostitution from your Capitol Hill townhouse, and stay in Congress, drown women in your car, etc and get away with it).
This nominee was the first female Texas Bar president -- not that this is the greatest thing in the world, but you don't get there by being weird, unable to get along with folks, etc.
Finally, I can name a ton of White House Counsel, male, liberal, with very, very similar credentials, who the Left would swoon over, and there would be no whisper that they weren't qualified.....so I just don't buy that about this nominee's resume.
How can she avoid confirmation if the libs like her? The team-playing Republicans will vote yes and the Dems will push her through because they know this is as good as it's gonna get for them. In fact, they couldn't have found a better candidate amongst themselves!
Unless she confesses that Jesus Christ is Lord, unless she has accepted Jesus' sacrifice on the cross as propitiation for sin, then she's not a Christian.
All the rest is irrelevant.
It is interesting to contemplate that if the pompous @$$ Kerry were president we'd surely have a solid flaming liberal Supreme Court right now (6-3) even despite a GOP Senate. But, with Bush as president we have a big, huge enigma, even though we have a GOP Senate..
