I Owe It All To John D'Oh

Speculation seems to be Edith Clement. I can't help but think that's a smart choice on his part. I don't really know anything about her decisions or her philosophical bent (except that I've seen her described as a conservative), but she was confirmed by a vote of 99-0 last time. It would be awfully hard for the Dems to argue that someone confirmed by that sort of vote last time is unqualified now. I wonder if conservatives will be happy, though. If she was confirmed 99-0, is she conservative enough? And there are definitely some conservatives out there who are spoiling for a fight, and would be awfully disappointed by any nominee capable of getting broad support from both sides of the aisle. |

We cross-posted. Mine was a minute or two behind because you didn't actually say anything.

Something weird is going on with timestamps. Seriously. When I wrote the post, your post wasn't up. As soon as I posted, I saw yours. I checked the timestamps, at that time they were two minutes apart. Now, of course, they are not. I can't explain it ... the most likely explanation would be that I'm wrong, but I know I checked, and I'm usually not that forgetful. |
