Pat Robertson's prayers seem to have been answered, or so he'll figure.
Sad news, in any case. ![]() |

Um, Pat Robertson would've wanted the liberal judges to kick off.

::shakes head:: No.. This means Bush gets to appoint new justices, and perhaps someone like Scalia will get Chief Justice status.

Well surely a more extreme right wing judge could not be found to replace him? ..... (fingers crossed)

It was inevitable, but still leaves that feeling in you.
Anyhow, seems Roberts might move straight to the top.

Yep. By nominating Roberts for CJ instead of a sitting judge like Scalia, Bush avoids a THIRD Supreme Court hearing.

Well, with the nedw appointee you can kill two birds with one stone. Then, ater this justice (shill?) is easily confirmed, we shall move on to filling the OTHER vacant spot. Note that the following variations for the court exist:
2 conservatives (esp. federalist) = preserve SCOTUS status 2 uberconservatives = Bush win 2 conservatives w/ anti-Roe = conservatives win 1 conservative/ 1 Liberal = nearly unthinkable, conservatives lose 2 liberals = treason, new revolutionary war, Timber sought by FBI and DOJ for liberal incentivization |
