I think NBA Dan is too controlled by the Neoliberal media to post his pick.
He can only provide the link to the article once Bush makes the announcment.
Read today that Priscilla Owen may be the nominee to replace O'Connor.
What do all of you judge watchers think of her judicial philosophy?

I don't, as of yet, know much about Callahan but if she's qualified, having another female and the first hispanic no the SC would put the Dems behind the eight-ball again as far as mounting an effort to derail her nomination.
That amounts to two large voting blocs they would risk alienating by opposing her if she's qualified.

I should have researched Callahan before posting her dossier.
You can read much into a person by who their supporters are and Callahan is supported by Diane Feinstein. She is the an hesis of convervatism and I think I speak for all of us that post in this forumwhen I say that support from Feinstein disqualifies her from consideration as SCJ.

I was wrong. .it's Harriet Miers..
Looks like you were all wrong.
Time to get busy and take a good look at this nominee.
Let the games begin.
Funny...I was just reading some reactions to this nomination, and the most objection is coming from Conservative groups. Odd.
The conservative groups were hoping for a judge that would seal the repeal of Roe v. Wade. They have no way of knowing with this one.
the most qualified person dubya can find for the SC is his personal lawyer?
dubay's limits are without limit.
This nobody crony been designated as a lightening rod, to take all the abuse, get rejected, so the next one (horribly less qualifed and even more politicized) will have more of a chance.
dubya's spent all his political capital.
boutons, you are a dumb mother er. Please shut up.
Thanks,
Humanity
Did boutons say something?
We will not allow opposing voices to be silenced!!
Sincerely,
The American People
You do not speak for me. For I am an American Person who objects vehemently to being placed in the same category with people who equate "being a total ing asshole" to "having an opposing voice."

I would be satisified if they picked a supreme court justice that wasn't so far on the right that half of his ass was in mid-air.
Damn...Miss Manners must be a real BEEOOCH!!

Just like Clinton picked those moderates Justice Breyer & Justice Ginsburg?
Damn...Miss Manners must be a real BEEOOCH!!
Why do you say that?
Do you use the "I'm just expressing my opposing view" excuse for being a total ing asshole?
Clinton wishes he had the entire government on his side. If he did, I wouldn't want those people either, given that they are far far far left.
But I glanced over the decisions Breyer made as a Justice and he hasn't really done anything bunk. Can't find anything on Ginsburg.
Boy, I didn't realize so many people had their panties up in wad over politics.
I've seen both, or all sides be assholes to each other but I haven't seen the "left" side ask or tell anyone to shut up.
Oh well, I've got work to do to keep the American way alive!!!
And if this to you is being an "asshole" then you must real thin skin. In fact, most of the name calling I've seen comes from conservatives with their "dummycrat" and "democrat" childish remarks.

I wasn't referring to any post in particular, there has been too many to count from both sides. As a matter of fact, I didn't even notice that one until you quoted it.
I was trying desperately to find an article that someone posted a while back about him (Breyer) that I thought was pretty funny...and I'm not trying to make any point with it, it just made me laugh...
