IMHO, the last two sentences of Mr. Leo's column say it all:Changing the court will be an uphill struggle. The naming of pleasant centrists won't do the job.
I'm always reminded of Daddy Bush when a reporter asked him what was the worst mistake he ever made as president. Quick came the reply, "He's sitting on the supreme court." Hopefully, Bush the younger has learned from this mistake. Non-contoversial nominees get us dangerous judges like Souther and Ginsberg.

I think nominating a moderate is exactly the correct course of action to replace Ginsburg when she retires!
It's time to fix the SENATE!
Not only is it time to fix the court, President Bush can do it properly, assuming Rehnquist steps down this summer. Instead of promoting Scalia or Thomas to CJ, the president can nominate the newly confirmed Janice Rogers Brown to the CJ position. She's certainly qualified and officially no longer dangerous or extreme because of the MOU by the Gang of 14. The screams from the left should be something to savor and may well trigger the constitutional option to eliminate this nonsense once and for all. Comments?
