this is a one paragraph article
WASHINGTON - President Bush's supporters want him to replace retiring Justice Sandra Day O'Connor with a rock-solid conservative jurist, but Bush's low poll numbers have given liberals hope he'll nominate a moderate to avoid a raucous fight in the Senate. "The real question is, `What is he trying to accomplish here? How much does the president want to radically shift the court right rather than try to get positive things done in the rest of his presidency?'" said Elliot Mincberg, counsel with the liberal People for the American Way.

could we hope for some sanity? Nah

[calico1]

1. Its not in his nature to be concilatory or

"work with others." He will pick as far right a wingnut as he can find. Count on it.

2. He'd nominate David Duke........

if he thought he could get away with it.

3. Dick Cheney

He's not too radical is he?

4. I heard he has already decided on Pat Buchanan!!

I heard Mr. B praising him on the MSM this past weekend.

5. Somebody to the right of Rush Limbaugh/Ann Coulter

7. Is Hitler available?

8. Search your brain for the worst possible nominee you can think of

Bush's will be worse.

9. It doesn't matter what his poll numbers are- he's got his political

capital to spend. He'll pick someone who'll make Roberts look like a moderate.

10. He could appoint his dog and the Dems would role over - most, not all

But enough to guarantee the vote in favor of whomever his corporate puppet masters tell him to nominate! Because most of the dems drink from the same trough

11. Gonzales, Janice Rogers Brown ("remember when we said we'd save the

filibuster for her? we lied"), or SATAN HIMSELF
:evilfrown:

[hogwyld]

12. Why not

Pat (pet) Robertson, or Jerry Falwell

[Jeff In Milwaukee]

13. Screw it -- My hat's in the ring!!

I figure if Roberts can be the Chief Justice of the Supreme Court with only two years experience as a judge at any level, then I don't see any reason why I should be excluded from consideration.

Granted, I'm not a lawyer or anything like that. But I think I'd look damned fine in one of those black robes, especially if I wear my Batman mask leftover from last Halloween.

Holy Stare Decicis!!

14. He'll pick Ronald Reagan and then try to convince us he is still alive.

and 40% of Americans will believe him.

15. A Mr. Mephistopheles W. Satan is on the short list

I have no doubt his confirmation will proceed smoothly.
