Good evening. My wife said the exact same thing three hours ago...

OK, Mr. President, now announce Janice Rogers Brown.

Me, I'd like to see Bork. (With no worry about the 2nd amend.). Just to give "The swimmer" a coronary.

Thanks for those pics. I'll bet he keeps the Roberts' very busy! Too funny! I have a Jack of my own(5 yrs old), don't think he's quite as boisterous as Jack Roberts! :)

Looks as if he grip is a little loose! Wow. Stevens could barely walk! Maybe Bush will appoint another one?

Man - that would take the cake ...

Sadly, Bork is now too old for serious consideration. The President should wisely consider people that can sit on this court for the next 20-30 years.

The damage that has been done to our country is going to take a major time investment for any real healing to take place.

Stevens is the senior justice though (came on during Ford's administration). Even if Bork had been confirmed, Roberts would still have been in by Stevens in all likelihood.

Now if Rehnquist had not died, and Roberts confirmed for O'Connor's seat, yes, he would have been sworn in by Rehnquist.

His smooth sailing worries me. I fear that he winked and nodded at the Dems, telling them he wouldn't overturn Roe v Wade -- which seems to be all the Dems really care about. Whooda thunk that the freedom to kill babies would end up meaning more to an American political party than anything else?

it is an uneasy feeling isn't it?

I am looking on the bright side. it could have been John F'n Kerry (he went to 'Nam you know) who was chosing these guys.

You got that right. I just hope W doesn't cave (as is being widely predicted), and nominate a "consensus" figure for the next one...

Their nay votes were real DUmb. Should have supported Roberts, and saved their venom for the next one. Now they'll look UGLY, RUDE and 100% PARTISAN.
