Maybe we were wrong all along. Bush is not conservative. He's Souter's long lost brother!

Kristol doesn't speak for me.

"Kristol stated more than once that he was surprised by the pick and was obviously disappointed, to the point of seeming almost angry."

Were tears welling up in Willy's eyes?

Whatever people think of Kristol, I have the sense he is speaking with some authority for the inside-the-beltway conservative establishment.

Kristol is a whiny little prissy boy.

Hey this could be a good thing. Any decision that makes that faux conservative Bill Kristol angry could actually be a good decision. Course I will withhold final judgement until I read up a bit more about her.

This is what happens when you vote Republican to try to change the courts -- you get Roberts and Miers, not the kind of strict constructionist justices we need. More Republican jurisprudence in the Souter/Stevens/Warren/Brennan/Blackmun tradition.

Bush is the "new" breed Conservative, buy now, pay later, give to corporate and hope for best.

There is no way to say she is the best-qualified.

I have to agree with that. She has never served as a judge so how could she be the best-qualified? She is a total blank slate as far as judicial temperment. A stealth candidate for both us and the lefties.

Why not Brown or Luttig or Garza or ....?

To me, Bush is serving up a nominee who he knows the Dems will reject, it will not get out of committee, and then he can nominate his preferred candidate. Not a good idea if true.

I was hoping that Bush would nominate Atilla the Hun rather than a split.

On Fox News, Fred Barnes just said it is a shock to conservatives. Fred said he had sources in the White House tell him that Bush would not have nominated her if she was not a judicial conservative (for what that's worth).

Krystol's main point was there were many others with proven records that were passed over in favor of this homley looking woman.

GW could have tried....
