For the next one, he should just select the best person available, like Janice Rogers Brown, and then recess appoint that person until the Senate confirms. If they don't confirm, it gives a good issue for the 2008 elections, and fires up the base, and then the nominee can be confirmed in 2009. It's better than nominating a "moderate" that the Dems will accept and being stuck with that person for 30 years.
We could only hope.
Each time the democrats oppose a Bush appointee,Bush should escalate to a more right wing judge until we get a true hardcore.The appearance on t.v.would make the democrats look so unreasonable they would lose favor and it would get progressively harder for them to make an argument.
Brilliant, if he has the stones to do it.
I like it! The idea makes me smile, and I haven't smiled much today.
No...we elect a solid conservative judge. We have 49 Senators...if the Senate Libs and media go banana poo let all see it for what it is. Best case we get a conservative judge. Worse case he gets Bork'ed and we have ammunition for 2008.
This subject came up with a conservative professor (retired) friend of mine the other night. I made him laugh when I countered with his "Bork" with my David Limbaugh, Ann Coulter, or Mark Levin, he had a good laugh, but it would be fun to see them spit green pea soup like Linda Blair.....
"Bush could show that he is not going to kowtow...."
I am afraid our glorious president is demonstratine even today how to roll on one's back to have his tummy scratched by his new imperious Democrat masters.
I have lost much respect as I at least thought he possessed a modicum of manhood. I guess his inviting Muslims into the white house during Ramadan should have tipped me off.
Now he's throwing Rumsfeld out of the boat and replacing him with a Neville Chamberlain type.
Retch!
Like father like son.
Not elect, but yes, nominate a conservative judge. If they refuse someone who is totally qualified, we reverse Bork the b*st*rds.
It all starts at the top. As much as one respects President Bush, he is the leader of his party so he gets the blame.
All we need is one Dem to flip, and there have been several (Ben Nelson, Salazar, Pryor, Byrd, Johnson, Landrieu) that buck the party line on judges pretty frequently.
Can't do it. They'll never get out of committee.
This could turn out to be the only solution.
They are not going to flip. A conservative judge will never get out of committee.
no, too old.
