You were expecting a "uniter" pick??? Gruss....where's yer cynicism man? The Miers debacle taught Bush two lessons: 1) gotta pick someone qualified and 2) that someone better be a darling of the conservatives. These court nominations are a weird sort of scenario anyway. I mean, you expect a conservative prez to select someone he thinks is a conservative judge....and vice versa. So that wasn't a surprise. Really, the only thing you can hope for is that once this person dons the supreme court robes, they hold their oath in esteem and remove any previous political shackles that may have influenced a proper interpretation of the law. To that end, integrity and a blind devotion to the "law" is really all you can use to truly ascertain whether someone is fit to be a SC justice. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Find out how CFTicket can increase your company's customer support efficiency by 100% http://www.houseoffusion.com/banners/view.cfm?bannerid=49 Message: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=i:5:179076 Archives: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/threads.cfm/5 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=s:5 Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=89.70.5 Donations & Support: http://www.houseoffusion.com/tiny.cfm/54
