When I started reading about her background, I softened a bit, just a bit. She's one of the few people in the Bush administration who hasn't just been a yes man and has disagreed with both him and her former immediate supervisor, Gonzales. I was furious that she hadn't been a judge yet, but then I read that 35 other Supreme Court justices hadn't served as judges before their nominations, including Rehnquist. One of my biggest worries came from charges of corruption when she led the Texas lottery. Two firings and two civil lawsuits, if I remember correctly, both of them settled. So I'm wary, suspicious but willing to cut a little slack and see what comes up. Quite frankly, I'm surprised no one from the extreme right hasn't started saying she's a lesbian because she's never been married. I definitely want to follow this one.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4283072392763163737.post-67107677539424375042005-10-05T14:51:00.000-07:002005-10-05T14:51:00.000-07:00So I take it you're not pleased with this nomi...So I take it you're not pleased with this nominee, lol.

Seriously, it will be interesting to follow the confirmation hearings and find out more. I agree that it's good she appears to lean to moderate--contributed to Gore's campaign! Maybe that was a plot. I keep thinking of that West Wing episode where they compromise with one conservative nominee and one liberal nominee who respect each others' differences and get along. *debbi*Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4283072392763163737.post-62965338715248737762005-10-10T20:15:00.000-07:002005-10-10T20:15:00.000-07:00"So, Mr. Bush searches the world, and ends up pull..."So, Mr. Bush searches the world, and ends up pulling another unqualified sycophant out of his drawers."<br>---------------------------------------------------------------<br>Now, that's a great line!
