Hell no, the votes are not determined by the hearings. Few senators have the guts to do the right thing. They are moved only by their perception of getting re-elected. Nothing else matters to most of these boobs. A very few of them stand on principle, like Coburn from OK, Rep. Tancredo from CO and a handful more, but most are in love with the perks and power.

Statement: "Focus for Supreme Court Pick Is Said to Be on Diversity"
Response: Well if Bush has any decency he will select a truly "Diverse" person; i.e. a person who is Black, Asian, and Caucasian, who lived in Terra Del Fuego and started as a Catholic, dabbled in wicca, converted to the Protestant faith and is currently being taught the mysteries of the Jewish faith by a Rabbi.

President Bush is focused on Hispanics, African-Americans and women to succeed Justice Sandra Day O'Connor, and he may announce his choice for her seat on the Supreme Court as early as the court's opening days in October, Republican strategists said on Wednesday. Yeah? - well I say bull-hockey.
I bet these are the same strategists who were touting Edith Clement as a 'sure thing' when Dubya picked Roberts.

Huh? You really think he'll pick Madonna?

Specter = Typical Liberal Jew baby killer
The only difference between Specter and Jumpin' Jeffords is the spelling of their names.

Great! Miquel Estrada. The RATS had nothing on him back then and nothing on him now. The only thing they can do it hit him on experience. But that didn't stop Ginsburg either.

JRB="Briar Patch" The dems whined about Roberts being a white man, and they will get what they wished for.

I still have
this linked speech by JRB bookmarked. It is remarkable in its power and clarity. My favorite line:
Government is the only enterprise in the world which expands in size when its failures increase. Janice Rogers Brown is my clear choice.

make the Left go berserk. It doesn't really matter who the president nominates, the left will go beserk regardless. So he might as well nominate one to show them up for what they are.

if she is chosen she will need some coaching for a better showing. Do you really think that the votes are determined by the hearings? Televised hearings, I most certainly do.
The left if run by special interest groups.
They wanted Judge Roberts DEFEATED soundly and the strategists on the left look like idiots before the nation (not just to us) for voting down this man who came across as Judicial Rock Star in the hearings.
Sadly, I do not think the substantive matters in the hearings decides the votes.

I would love to see Edith Jones nominated. My guess is that he might go for Edith "Joy" Clement. I believe she's from from Louisiana and has some bi-partisan support down there.

Yes, we need a minority nominee to give the Donks an opportunity to show off their racist tendencies.
To: alessandrofiaschi; All
The New York Times says the focus is on a minority and/or woman?
I have never been so certain of anything in my life now. It's definitely going to be Luttig.

The focus SHOULD be on who supports the constitution, but I
guess that doesn't count anymore.
To: Soul Seeker
Soul Seeker said:
"Here's something I will throw out as very likely. The President has probably had his preferred selection decided long in advance, as he had Roberts in his sights long ago. " I agree with you.
If the process that Bush carried out to select Robert's did not include serious consideration of whomever becomes his next selection, then that process was inadequate. We're only talking about a couple of weeks of time. Too little for the assessment of various candidates to have changed.
