Rumor is that * is going to announce his choice for SC tomorrow...

[sabra]

I wouldn't be surprised if it happened, as Bushco is in need of a major distraction.

[SodoffBush]

1. "Big time"

[joanne]

2. Wouldnt surprise me either

Any bets it will be a white conservative male. :puke:

[mcctatas]

4. I'm thinking shrub might just decide that he's already screwed the pooch

so he might as well go for broke and nominate Gonzalez.

[flordehinojos]

20. or raul cantero batista who was sat in the florida SC by brother jebbie.

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

11. I'm betting on Janice Rogers Brown --

a black woman whose politics place her a bit to the right of Darth Vader. Then, when the Dems object to her appointment, they will be accused of racism and sexism.

[sabra]

14. Brown is my guess too.

[mcctatas]

15. Oh Christ...

She makes Scalia look like a socialist!!! If he does that, the dems had better friggin fillibuster her ass!

[Norwood]

Shes my guess too

I was betting on her ever since I found out Roberts got the SCJ nomination.

[nonconformist]

24. I've got a feeling about her too.

And we'd better fucking filibuster like our lives depended on it if it's her.

[FVZA_Colonel]

25. And they should counter with

"cut the crap: just because we criticize her does not mean we are doing so based on race or gender. The fact that you resort to such charges, rather than trying to build her up, is quite revealing, wouldn't you say?"

[CAG]

3. I hear Tom Delay may be available... nt

[joanne]

5. Isnt G Gordon Liddy looking for another job?

[brettdale]

6. I didnt quite catch it

But the international media is saying its Harriet merris???? I didnt quite get the last name.

[DefenseLawyer]

9. Harriet Miers

Current White House counsel and Bush's former personal lawyer.

[Mind_your_head]

7. So, we're just 'setting ourselves up to be distracted'?

Distracted by this guy who has power (that we - THE PEOPLE - allow him to have? So that HE can appoint someone HE LIKES? To further impose their will on us? And we're paying to be lied to? shat upon?

When will this stop?

[populistdriven]

8. he better hurry before his #'s get any lower!

[Oversea Visitor]

10. Real big stink needed

to Delay the indict woh woh woh would be a stinker of a choice for sure.

[joanne]

12. It's going to be a white male

[Oversea Visitor]

22. Maybe Tony Blair

hehe

[BurtWorm]

13. Jenna Bush

needs a job desperately, and Uncle Dick isn't dead yet. :think:

[ruggerson]

16. She would liven up the place

Jello shots for all before a case is heard.

[Warren DeMontague]

17. Roy Moore! Phylis Schlafly! Rick Santorum! Fred Phelps!

Torquemada's still dead, aint he?

[The_Casual_Observer]

18. He is going to do the owens woman.

I don't even think he has a say in the matter. It was pre arranged, and the script will be followed no matter what.

[DefenseLawyer]

21. I just don't think

George and the boys have that kind of political capital anymore to strongarm the moderates into supporting a totally unqualified wingnut like Priscilla Owen. Those halcyon days are long gone. How is Bill Frist supposed to keep Olympia Snowe, et al, in line when his insider trading scandal looms? It's every Senator for him or herself as 2006 approaches and the leadership is sinking like a rock. Visions of slick tv ads of Lincoln Chafee's head morphing into the hideous Mr. DeLay before our very eyes. I just don't see it now. The threat of a filibuster isn't wishful thinking anymore.

[alarcojon]

19. This discussion of a few days ago seems relevant

Bush, asked about his next nominee, said “I will pick a person who can do the job. But I am mindful that diversity is one of the strengths of the country.” The president is under pressure from many quarters — including his wife — to pick a woman or a minority for the seat of Justice Sandra Day O’Connor, who is retiring.

Personally, I think it will be Alberto Gonsellout, but it could well be Brown.

[Ladyhawk]

23. Oh! Oh! Lemme guess! Ummmm....Brownie? n/t

[nonconformist]

26. I suspect he'd do a heck of a job. nt
