**If Bush names Gonzales to replace ailing Chief Justice William H. Rehnquist, a prospect that is becoming more likely, conservatives worry that the president will shift the high court to the left, not the right, on key issues such as affirmative action and abortion. **

This is false, deliberate, biased media spin to create trouble for the likely Gonzales appointment. The media would like nothing more for the president to have trouble with his first appointment to the Supreme Court. They are seeking to create a coalition of hatred for Gonzales from the left and the far right.

As long as we control the Senate, Gonzales should have no problem being confirmed. He'd probably take some abuse from some Senators for writing a legal opinion to Bush which stated that the President had sufficient authority under previous resolutions to move against Iraq (without going to Congress again in late summer), but it wouldn't prevent confirmation.

In fact, some criticism of the appointment from the misinformed social conservatives would probably help in getting some Democrat votes for his confirmation.
