You mean a conservative appointed conservatives? What a whacky idea!

Funny things happen when you win an election.

Let me be the first to add the perfunctory "Bush is not a conservative"...post.

[ncountylee]

Conservative judges will be Bush's legacy. Not a bad one to have but every judge now will be a real fight thanks to the darn Rinos.

[jazusamo]

The best part is that he has almost three years to go.

[TheBigB]

Bush's fault! ;)

[bybybill]

How do we tell if a judge made a conservative decision on civil rights?

[bushinohio]

Sounds good to me!

[umgud]

No matter what you think of Bush, ya gotta tank him for his appointments. And, hopefully, he'll get at least one more SCOTUS pick.

""Liberal" judges would generally seek in their rulings to extend the freedoms of abortion, gay rights, the rights of women and minorities and freedom of speech, Carp explained. "Conservative" jurists, by contrast, would prefer to limit such rights."

Let me guess. Carp is a lefty.

CORRECTION..."Liberal" judges would generally seek in their rulings to extend the freedoms of abortion, gay rights, the rights of women and minorities and freedom of speech, Carp explained. "Conservative" jurists, by contrast, would prefer to not make up rights and laws, properly leaving such fabrications to be handled by the legislature.

I hope Harriet Miers gets her due in this; she has been instrumental in selecting this broad swath of conservative judges.

I have wondered whether Rehnquist's refusal to resign was not to help Bush politically, rather to provoke other tired old justices into retiring with less guilt about giving up their seat to a conservative. (In other words, he was faking his intention to get past the Bush presidency...)

Correct me if I'm wrong here TX freepers, but isn't Houston Texas' lib-tard bastion???

[txroadkill]

Judges appointed by President George W. Bush are the most conservative on record when it comes to civil rights and liberties

They say that like it's a bad thing.

[jazusamo]

True. I know he has some nominees in the works right now and there are still some vacancies. It will be interesting to see what will happen with the Dems filibuster.

[DuckFan4ever]

...the overall tone of the judiciary should be more conservative three years from now than it is today

Yes! Hopefully that means fewer cases will be heard by the Supreme Court. The Supremes can spend their time overturning cases from the 9th circus.
