Maybe we just pull the conservative version of a david souter, you know, bring in a guy who intentionally misleads everyone, gets there vote, and then does his own thing. We could have our guy out and out lie, since the libs do it all the time, and just make sure we know he is a pro-lifer. I know this is very dishonest, just a thought though.

His name is Alberto Gonzales. Among those who discuss such matters regularly, Gonzales and Souter are known as "stealth" candidates. They sort of sneak in under the radar. Gonzales is current White House counsel but when Dubya was governor of Texas, Gonzales was Chief Justice of the Texas Supreme Court.

The reason he's a "stealth" candidate is that he was the author of a Texas Supreme Court decision that appears to the untrained eye to be a bold pro-choice landmark opinion. But Gonzales was simply interpreting current law as it's written, without addressing its constitutionality.

I hope your right. I don't know that much about the possible Supreme Court appointees. Its in President Bush's hands. He has the chance to be a great hero among the political right if his selection is a excellent one. It is the most important domestic policy action he will take.
