That's our President. Coming right back at them, keeping 'em off balance!
Thanks for the ping! Of course it'll take the Senate 4 more years to get through all of those. But he needs to keep plugging. You gotta love that.
Slap. Slap. Slap. Slap. Slap. Etc.
I love a man who sticks to his guns.
Sadly, Mr Estrada threw in the towel in disgust.
Good for the President. Sounds like he's tired of being Mr. Nice Guy and he's gonna hold the Dems' feet to the fire, constantly reminding them of the losses they suffered in 2004 for their recalcitrance in handling his nominations.
I want judges who follow the law..not make the law.Could not agree more. My current tag line sez: "If our nation be destroyed, it would be from the judiciary." ~ Thomas Jefferson
Believe it!
IMHO, in 100 years, THIS is what Dubya will be most remembered for. Because THIS will have a very strong and lasting affect on our country during the coming years.
I've seen some of these names before. I don't absolutely know where every judge stands, but I suspect that almost all of them are sound.
When Eisenhower, Nixon, Reagan, and Bush made lousy appointments to the Supreme Court, it was usually because the better candidates were shot down and then they agreed to COMPROMISE.
G. W. Bush is the first Republican president since Eisenhower, if my memory is correct, who has essentially refused to compromise--that is, withdraw the best candidates and put up mediocre candidates instead.
That's how we got Souter and the other losers. Republican presidents let themselves be maneuvered by the Democrats. So far, at least, Bush has stuck to his guns, God bless him.

Some things are apparent. Where government moves in, community retreats, civil society disintegrates and our ability to control our own destiny atrophies. The result is: families under siege; war in the streets; unapologetic expropriation of property; the precipitous decline of the rule of law; the rapid rise of corruption; the loss of civility and the triumph of deceit. The result is a debased, debauched culture which finds moral depravity entertaining and virtue contemptible.
CA Justice Janice Rogers Brown
We no longer find slavery abhorrent. We embrace it. We demand more. Big government is not just the opiate of the masses. It is the opiate. The drug of choice for multinational corporations and single moms; for regulated industries and rugged Midwestern farmers and militant senior citizens.
Whoooo Hoooooo!!! You go Girl!
Too bad there is no constitutional provision whereby federal positions that are not filled within 180 days are automatically and permanently removed. That would make deadlock within government self-reducing.
Woo Hoo
Here come da Judges ! Here come da Judges !
Those are great quotes. And how about her calling 1937 a "disaster" and the "triumph of our socialist revolution."
That's from a liberal site trying to discourage support, so I'm not sure if it's taken out of context. Nonetheless, I like it. I'd like JRB to at least sit on the DC Circuit, if not the SCOTUS one day.
Ain't it the truth! ;-)

Durbin quoted Brown as saying, "Where government moves in, community retreats, civil society disintegrates and our ability to control our own destiny atrophies."
"You have described the year 1937 -- the year in which President Roosevelt's New Deal legislation started taking effect -- as 'the triumph of our socialist revolution,"' Durbin said. "Given that the federal government and its role in our lives is your major responsibility if you're appointed to the D.C. Circuit court, I hope you can understand why some people have taken great issue with statements you have made and the philosophy which you bring before this committee."
Brown said she was speaking to an audience of young law students and was trying to make them think. But she stood by the statements. "The speech speaks for itself," she said.
In your face Durbin. She's 100% correct.
I will never be satisfied until the Miguel Estrada sits on the bench in America. I pray that this amazing man reconsiders, and Frist pushes him through.
How about: Just Say N(uclear) O(ption).
Go GW.
Lets see what the Demorats do with this list....
Nice to see a good number from Michigan -
As discussed earlier in the thread, the Dems have already employed the "Nuclear Option" by filibustering. What President Bush and Senator Frist propose is to remove the Nuclear Option by using the Constitutional Option.
