Understatement, I am pissed. This wishy, washy stealth b.s. has to stop. Blind trust for something we do not know about, why walk past all those great conservative judges? Does'nt make sense.

Word has it that both Sandra Day O'Connor and Laura Bush wanted a woman. But why choose this one? Certainly the Federalist Society could have recommended at least a dozen. Why does this president feel he has to appease a completely impotent Dem. minority?

Ditto. Why?. We all want the same thing. An originalist that will not turn into Souter. Some of us are much more reluctant to trust in an unknown. And why should we have to trust in an unknown?. There are SOOOOO many qualified female judges out there right now. And she is 60 years old.
Why not stack the court for years to come? Is there something wrong with that?. I think W wants the same thing,
but, why go so far to avoid a fight, and give up so many years of potential bench time? I just don't understand the strategery here.

Sure it makes sense. GWBush poll numbers are down and the MSM is an arm of the Donks. Will spin anti Bush every time. If it wasn't Meijers it would be her clone. That's as good as it gets these days

Are you sure this isn't Scappleface or some type of Bush satire? Is this April Fools day and Bush is just trying to instill some humor in our lives?

I agree. No more stealth candidates!
Why does President Bush have to nominate a woman judge?
Is there a quota of women for SCOTUS? Is it 2 women? There are more women than men in the USA so maybe the quota should be 4 women.
Or maybe, just maybe, it should be the most qualified 7 judges in the USA regardless of the other factors.
Did Pres Bush nominate her to pay back a favor?
Did Pres Bush nominate her because Hitlery and her side of the aisle would be more likely vote for her?
It will look bad to withdraw her nomination but I hope that he does.
Sandra Day O'Connor does not have to be replaced by another left leaning woman. We deserve to have the best!
