Legacy in the making

Late last night Chief Justice William H. Rehnquist died after a prolonged battle with cancer. His passing which of course every red blooded American ( and the few decent liberals still out there) morn, brings about a second vacancy on the Supreme Court. The last time there where two vacancies together Richard Nixon was President. He appointedJustices Rehnquist and Powell which went a long way towards reshaping the Supreme Court. Now President Bush has an even greater opprotunity to reshape the court for the twenty first century. This may above anyting else be his greatest legacy.

I am waiting to hear the liberals begain there caterwalling about how the nominee need be "mainstream" which to a liberal means Pro choice, Big Government, and anti-Constitution. I fully expect to see within the United States Senate the Biggest confirmation battle in history. Bigger then the Bork hearings, bigger even then the Clarence Thomas hearings. I fully expect liberals to show their true colors and filibuster any decent conservative, strict constructionist nominee the President puts forward.

I do wonder what happen to the days when a nominee was looked at for there qualifications and then voted on, not for their politics but for their Judicial record. This Supreme court which made in my opinion the greatest blunder since the Dredd Scott case in there decision concerning Eminent Domain is however filled for the most part with fair minded, highly competatant Justices. Justices that where confirmed by Senators that could ( for the most part ) look past party lines and vote Yes on good nominees. I call upon the senate democrats to look past there unbridled hatred for this President and for the sake of the country do the same.
