AG-R Ghost Speaks On SCOTUS Choice

According to the Globe-Republican this AM, Shrub has two choices when picking a new supreme court judge:

"He can stick it in the eye of his opponents by appointing a conservative firebrand. Or, he can appoint someone just like the justice he wants to replace. The president ought to take the latter course, which still would enable him to keep arguably his most important campaign pledge."

Wow.

Nothing in there about experience, nothing about education or whether America needs an idealogue or a moderate, a theocrat or a believer in the separation church and state, etc . . .

Nope, Shrubster's choices are to poke the eyes of half the country, or replace Sandra Day (A moderate) with . . . another moderate? Did the AG-R just call for a moderate?

Yes they did in their typical half-a**ed way, and PTS agrees. But let's get some info about what's actually happening in this fight, something you cannot gather from this scribbled unsigned pravda piece.

The wingnuts on the religious right, you know 'em, the ones who forced Bush to cut a vacation short to intrude on a family matter (Schiavo) want to overturn Roe v. Wade, they want legalize discrimination against gays, they want to end access to contraception, they want to destroy privacy rights....and they aren't going to stop until they get all of these.

To them, that's what this Supreme Court battle is about. And they own Bush.

Another prob for the Repubs, Radical Cleric James Dobson and his ilk WANT an ideological litmus test for SCOTUS candidates. They are the ones being most vocal about this, not Democrats.

PTS'ers, we already KNOW he will nominate a conservative. For the AG-R to come out and say he should nominate a conservative is the same as saying in essence, " Bush should nominate a human." Altogether now . . . Duh!

So, Bush's actual THREE choices are these:

1. Nominate a Bush Crime family loyalist (Gonzales) who is short on experience and moral judgement (Torture memos), and someone who will stir up the American Mullahs?

2. Nominate an American Mullah fav like 10 commandment nutball Judge Roy Moore, that will trigger a filibuster and also upset moderate Repubs?

3. Act like a leader, consult with Democrats and moderate Repubs like Clinton did, and nominate someone who will SERVE the American people.

Sure would be swell to read some of this "news" from our local "newspaper" eh?
