After all, O’Connor herself was a political choice; Reagan had made a campaign promise to nominate a woman to the Supreme Court.  

Picking a female or Latino helps Bush politically and might blunt the backlash from democrats. With a second opening looming I don’t think the W wants this to turn into an “extraordinary circumstance.”


This is not entirely true.....his Father picked a black (Justice Thomas), and the Demoncrats insisted he wasn't black, he was Republican.

And Thomas is on the court, isn’t he.

Also, I said female or Hispanic, I didn’t say black. I would be more surprised at an African-American nominee.*

The GOP is really going after women and Hispanic voters, not so much African-American.

Nice car Ted, who was driving again?

..wait we can't vote her in Teddy killed her.

- Senator Kennedy's driver's license had expired on February 22, 1969 (nearly 5 months before the accident at Chappaquiddick) and had not been renewed.
- Although driving with an expired license was only a misdemeanor, it did provide the evidence of negligence needed to prove a manslaughter charge in the death of Mary Jo Kopechne.
- The license problem was "fixed" by officials at the Registry of Motor Vehicles, under the direction of Registrar Richard McLaughlin, before the legal proceedings began.

Now lets talk about "Abuse of Power."

There's only one thing stopping a Kennedy Family Reunion....

A Bullet.

We Need a Free America.

2. A political choice. This would most likely be a female or Hispanic as these are two demographics the GOP are strongly courting. This type of choice is much less likely to face severe opposition.


If Linda Chavez was a lawyer she would be sitting pretty right now :)
