KRC Posted July 1, 2005 Posted July 1, 2005 Who's next? 372642[/snapback] In related news, the Democrats have already started filibustering the yet-to-be-named nominee.
EC-Bills Posted July 1, 2005 Posted July 1, 2005 Christ. Get ready for all hell to break loose in the Senate.
boomerjamhead Posted July 1, 2005 Posted July 1, 2005 Christ. Get ready for all hell to break loose in the Senate. 372647[/snapback] Cool. Maybe now we can stop calling our soldiers NAZIs. Well, at least for a little while...
beausox Posted July 1, 2005 Posted July 1, 2005 average age of sitting court is 71 and average term 19 years. Rehnquist is next. Will Stewart hang on for 2008?
Reuben Gant Posted July 1, 2005 Posted July 1, 2005 Slate has a shortlist of candidates, this should be fun. http://slate.msn.com/id/2121270/?nav=ais
OnTheRocks Posted July 1, 2005 Posted July 1, 2005 WOW! This news is incredible. I would love to sit down and have a conversation with her.
bobblehead Posted July 1, 2005 Posted July 1, 2005 Christ. 372647[/snapback] The liberals will have a hard time trying to block him.

Reuben Gant Posted July 1, 2005 Posted July 1, 2005 Christ. 372647[/snapback] Interesting choice for a nomination I wonder if he would turn to the left once nominated
OnTheRocks Posted July 1, 2005 Posted July 1, 2005 i tend to think he would sit on the "right hand" side.
PastaJoe Posted July 1, 2005 Posted July 1, 2005 Here's a chance for Bush to take a step at representing the majority of Americans and consulting with Democrats to find a nominee who could be supported by both sides. I'll wait and see if he does so before passing judgement. If they try to push Alberto Gonzalez, that will result in a fight even though he's Hispanic, since his hands are dirty from his blanket endorsement of the over-the-top interrogation tactics that have been used at Gitmo and in Iraq. At a time when the administration wants to put that black eye behind them, it would bring it to the forefront again.

Ghost of BiB Posted July 1, 2005 Posted July 1, 2005 puh-leeeeese. 372756[/snapback] It's a bunch of crap, but wildman there does have a point - just because of the way he stated it, you know a lot of people are going to think that, and you can best bet that the Democrat part of the Senate will ride the horse - should they want to - even though THEY know better.

Party politics at its finest. I suppose no one's considered that, given this is O'Connor retiring, the Senate Democrats are easily likely to block any male candidate...
RkFast Posted July 1, 2005 Posted July 1, 2005 Those "over the top" techniques like turning the A/C down and playing rap music loudly!!!! Up next at GTMO.......asking the person being interrogated for information without saying "please". OH.......THE HORROR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I do agree with Joey's other point, however.
Ned Flanders Posted July 1, 2005 Posted July 1, 2005 One of the greatest quotes of alltime: John Riggins, while drunk and sprawled out on the floor, at a dinner in Washington, to Sandra Day O'C, 1985: "Loosen up, Sandy baby, you're too tight."

His party is in charge. While he can't pick a total whackjob, he gets to pick who he wants. That's the way the system works.

Liberals in power: We'll do what we want so STFU Liberals out of power: You must compromise with us on everything you do

Of course that's just in theory, reality will probably be something totally different. Personally, I would prefer someone along the lines of O'Conner. She was a moderate-conservative and as she phrased it, "open to persuasion."
