My...Oh, I didn't think there was a <I>public</I> position. My guess is that whatever Bush's reason is (and here I shall make the generous allowance that he wasn't just backed into a corner to stop lollygagging and make a decision and he picked the first person he saw) it's based on personal knowledge and 'gut' 'instinct'. It's the sharp-edged rationalist perspective that he brings to everything else, after all.<BR/><BR/>As for the candidate herself, she's on the record as describing His Presidentialness as the most intelligent man she ever met, which to say the least does nothing to certify her suitability for high public office in my view.Davehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05203948349102824828noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7701411.post-1128666277174319312005-10-07T16:24:00.000+10:002005-10-07T16:24:00.000+10:00Well, one problem with both the recent nominees, f...Well, one problem with both the recent nominees, from my perspective, is that they <B>don't</B> have a public position on <I>Roe vs. Wade</I>. There are plenty of experienced judges out there who we know would overturn it on the obvious legal grounds- i.e., it is a matter for the states to decide, over which the constitution has granted no power to the federal government except via extreme mental gymnastics. Bush hasn't used his majority to try to get some of them on the bench, like he would if he really cared about this stuff. Instead he is nominating people that nobody knows anything about and displeasing everyone, instead of just upsetting the atheistic latte-sucking blue-stater scum. He is trying to be sneaky. I guess. Or else you're right about the Rangers Stadium thing...Dr Clamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14985493422534275997noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7701411.post-1128646656743730412005-10-07T10:57:00.000+10:002005-10-07T10:57:00.000+10:00Or maybe she knows where the bodies are buried (al...Or maybe she knows where the bodies are buried (although - again, if I had to guess - underneath Rangers Stadium)Davehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05203948349102824828noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7701411.post-1128640840944616082005-10-07T09:20:00.000+10:002005-10-07T09:20:00.000+10:00I doubt it goes much beyond her position on Roe vs...I doubt it goes much beyond her position on <I>Roe vs Wade</I>, if I were to guess.Davehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05203948349102824828noreply@blogger.com
