Personally I think its fine to appoint a man. I am gender blind.

But if you need a woman, Janice Rogers Brown or Edith Jones.

Brown won't get the votes. No way, at least not without shutting down the Senate. Many had their doubts about her as a crazy ideologue, but they capitulated. She got 56 votes for the DC Cir. That's a pretty thin margin to start from. The Dems can pick off Nelson (the one Dem. for her), and probably 5 Rs. And that's only after they lose the nuclear option.

Jones had a shot until she wrote that reCOCKulous dissent in the case trying to reopen Roe. That sucker will be quoted ad nauseum if she's nominated. Not smart on her part--she had plausible deniability until writing that.

Good. Make it bloody and expose the liberals for the obstructionists that they are. The people knew Bush's opinion on Roe and judges prior to electing him. Now is the time for ROI.

Here's a thought, throw Rogers up first. She gets shot down, then put Jones up. They could never ding a second woman nominee who was more moderate.

Tribe is on now, he just said the libs got hit by a tsunami. I hope it washes him away to France.

I also blame you for destroying my last shred of hope that humans are not imbeciles at their cores.

I now have officially no hope at all for mankind.

Hey, at least now all that stuff is in one place. When I started looking into it, it was all over the web.

Intriguing. I guess the question of who's benefitted more depends on whether you think Bush will be able to get his pick through regardless. If he can, then R's win, because it's true that the energy to fight will dissipate the second time around, meaning the new chief will be even easier to pick.

But I'm not so sure Bush's support (and, more important, the repercussions of not supporting Bush for a senator) is as great as perhaps some think it to be.

Hello and welcome to the United States of Baby Jebus, home to the top schools of creationist science in all of this flat earth. Try our freedom fries and enjoy our nascar racing. Please leave your pr0nm, stem cells and civil rights at the border.

If we can get a true ideological federalist, this is a big win for everyone and I'm happy as a pig in sh!t provided I can avoid travelling outside of NY, Las Vegas and CA. My money says we're on our way to a Xian theocracy where state's rights are doled out to the extent they don't make baby Jebus cry - e.g., medical marijuana, pr0n, euthanasia, stem cells, etc, and they will upheld any restriction on states rights that makes the hardcore conservative Xians happy. Your children will be learning mandatory intelligent design in their biology classes.

Ain't it the truth. Just ask 'em.

Especially the latter.

Why California? I thought California made baby Jebus cry.

I think with 3 years left in his term he will get a pick for this seat through. It would surprise me to see an obviously offensively conservative sacrificial lamb go first and then a nearly equally conservative second pick where the line is "the dems are being unreasonably obstructionist". I invented the Rogers then Jones scenario. Remember that.

I think that there is support and there is support. Some party members may not like the ideology but I think the ground rules will be made clear by Rove-you fuck with us and "our party" will kill you come election time.

Why not go with a moderate pick that is acceptable to everyone?

I am nominally a Catholic (only because I am hedging my bets), but I don't go to church and haven't in decades. I am generally of a libertarian bent on issues of morality. I.e. I am not the christian right, but I can see that they got Bush where he is and politics being politics, the bill is now due.

Kennedy and Dodd just gave a press statement. I have so much dislike for them that I look forward to a bruising battle just to see them put in their place, which is the party not in charge. I can't believe I once campaigned for one and voted for the other. Retch.
