Who will GW pick for the next Supreme Court Justice? Will it be a man? Or a woman? Will it be a minority? Will it be someone with no experience as a judge?
Bush is being coy and saying, “Sure, we’ll consider nominating a woman/minority/Senator.” But what does that really mean? I hope it means Bush is saying that he’s still going to nominate whoever he wants, or rather the best qualified candidate, whether it’s a man or woman.
I can’t bring myself to agree with the Senators that have been calling for Bush to nominate someone without experience as a judge.
Going outside the federal courts would bring some humanity into the often-criticized decisions of the nation's highest court, says Senate Judiciary chairman Arlen Specter, R-Pa.
As a federal judge, you "look at records, you read cases, you have very little contact with people," Specter said after meeting with Bush on Tuesday.
You mean like a Senator? Hahahahaha. Whatever.
I would rather know what kind of decisions the judge has made in the past, what his decision making process is like, and how he feels about the rule of law and the constitution than I would care how much he interacts with people on a daily basis.
