The Supreme Court

Rehnquist. And Bush will nominate Scalia for Chief Justice.

[elwoodblues]

I doubt it. I think he'll nominate someone just like Scalia for chief justice (too much baggage w/ Scalia)

[GWB]

Do you guys think I need to nominate "stealth" candidates to get them confirmed?

[tripdad]

you should re-nominate Robert Bork. as a federal judge, EVERY ruling he ever made, then subsequently appealed to and heard by the Supreme Court, was upheld. the man simply is dead on with his decisions, and is the nation's foremost expert on constitutional law.

cheers!

Just curious what people claiming that america isn't a democracy think of this Bork quote:

"Being 'at the mercy of legislative majorities' is merely another way of describing the basic American plan: representative democracy"

This is really an interesting question as most thought GWB would appoint 2-3 judges in his first term. It seems unlikely that another 4 years would go buy without one or more appointments.

Those Democrat Senators can no longer say that I am unelected, since I won an absolute majority of the vote (the first time in 16 years). With 55 GOP Senators, I hope my appointments will go a little easier.

Given the aggressiveness of his cancer, Rehnquist may not be alive in four years. [img]/images/graemlins/frown.gif[/img]
