A Uniter...
So George W. Bush has replaced the first woman Supreme Court Justice in history with a white male who's anti-choice.
Apparently Sandra Day O'Connor, a moderate-to-conservative judge whose views reasonably match the majority of Americans--and who was plenty conservative enough for Ronald Reagan--wasn't right wing enough for George Bush.
And apparently he couldn't find a woman--any woman--in the whole country to replace her.
Anyone else think that, given a chance, George Bush would get rid of all the women on the court? Somehow we suspect that he and his fellow-travellers just wouldn't trust a woman in a lifetime appointment.
Note: 201k is on semi-vacation. We'll be posting sporadically for the next few weeks. Yes, we'll get to Dr. Egnor's letter.

It was interesting how they hinted that it would be a woman and then made this appointment. I guess Rove isn't too distracted by his problems to still be doing his job. The announcement did exactly what they wanted too. It got Rove off the front page so that we can all hash over what the Roberts appointment means.
Face it though. This guy will get confirmed and the court will move to the right. It would be a hoot if the guy ended up having a major liberal conversion in a year or two though. Not likely, but not impossible

Personally, I'm not surprised. As a woman and as the mother of a young woman, I take this nomination as a gigantic fuck you to all american women.
The right is up in arms today over the Reagan appointed federal judge who sentenced he Millennial Bomber. Even the Gipper wasn't extreme enough for this crowd.
