Interesting. I really think Bush is cognizant of his dad's fuck ups and doesn't want the shitty milquetoast legacy of his dad and as such will be cognizant of the Souter trap.
I wish the age thing was a block for them, as I think Olsen would be good. I would also be happy to see a U/Chicagoer. Epstein or Posner (hi uknowho!). Although I know that won't happen.
I was sort of pro-Gonzales, but this sort of gives me pause:
"he could not bring himself to support parental notification on the Texas Supreme Court. While he professes to be anti-abortion, he maintains Roe v. Wade is inviolable -- a judicial version of John Kerry's formulation."
The first sentence is where the pro-choice crowd totally loses me. the second sentence I find problematic because the bottom line is its a poorly crafted opinion and shouldn't be inviolable on that plank(ton) alone.
