Now President Shrub gets to appoint two Supreme Court justices.
I shudder at the thought. |

Bushie is rapidly running out of political capital. He will have to try something moderate and non controversial. |

As the others said, now Bush gets to appoint two Supreme Court justices. Those appointments will affect the USA long after Bush has moved to Crawford for his permanent vacation. That's what. |

Another example of how the Election of '00 will be viewed as a major turning point in US history. |

According to Dershowitz he was a long-time rascist. I think there is some innuendo in the article, but I don't think it wrong in whole cloth.
The guy will be remembered for giving the presidency to Bush in 2000 and not much more. Oh, yeah, putting stripes on his Justice Robe. That's important. |

Have you heard that he wants to appoint John Roberts to Chief Justice
He's only early 50s, just think he could be Chief Justice for 40 even 50 years. |

I always thought Bush would give the job to Scalia, for sure.
I was a bit surprised to hear that the newbie is going to shoot right to the top of the ranks.
I bet Scalia's going to hate him for that. |
