80% of Potential SCOTUS Nominees on W's List Decline His Offer
Fox News | 10-11-05 | freedom4me

Posted on 10/11/2005 9:08:44 PM PDT by freedom4me

During the 11:00 p.m. (CST) newsbreak, Donna Fuducia reported that Karl Rove told James Dobson that 80% of the potential SCOTUS nominees on the President's list declined his offer because of they didn't want to undergo the grueling confirmation process. Perhaps this sheds new light on the reason why W chose Miers.

I most strongly disagree. America is worth fighting for. And fight I will do.

"You mean like you side shouting elitist and sexist. Pot meet kettle."

You are half right in your allegation. I have shouted elitist. I have never shouted sexist.

This woman-with all due respect-has never demonstrated an ounce of spine over the course of her entire life.

To claim that she accepted this task of her own volition doesn't pass the smell test, in my humble opinion.

Wtih the 'Rats using the filibuster we need 60 votes for cloture or 50 votes to nuke. We have neither.

THis capitulation without a fight to a 60 vote supermajority is probably a big part of the cause of this "whatever." And it is going unchallenged.

Capitulation on a balance of powers issue embodied in the Constitution. This country is going down the crapper, no thanks for help from the GOP.

It's become so nasty, so partison, that no one wants to submit themselves to the nightmare. One reason it's getting harder to find decent people who will even run for office or try for a cabinet position.

Wow. A fourth pick. That has to be a record.

We had best hope that W gets 4 picks cauz if you know who gets elected Prez in '08 she will get at least two picks-no way Ginsberg and Stevens will make it till 2012...

O'Connor's seat was not to be a "woman's seat". If that had been the plan, Roberts would not have been nominated.

Excellent point. But I also remember everyone last July was expecting Rehnquist to step aside, or die. It may have been that Roberts was supposed to get Rehnquist's seat, and Rehnquist didn't die or get out of the way soon enough.

Estrada declined to be in the mix because of the obstruction the dems did to him last time.

Dems obstruction has kept conservative heavyweights away knowing they will be fillabustered.

Why go through a whole confirmation process and get nothing out of it.

Estrada's wife had a miscarraige during the dems brutality and then passed away from the stress related to it.


Everyone will blame Bush but the dems are the real enemies in this.

Doesn't ring true unless these "nominees" slept through the Roberts confirmation process.

"Well, I'm talking about the RINOs in the US Senate. There are NO RINOs on FR. We're all battle-hardened, right-wing wacko conservatives!!"

I'll bump that.
