Bush to announce court choice - Jul 19, 2005

President Bush has decided whom to nominate to succeed Sandra Day O'Connor on the Supreme Court and was poised to announce his pick in a prime-time Tuesday night address.

White House press secretary Scott McClellan said the Bush administration was asking television outlets to broadcast the speech live. Bush's spokesman would not identify the president's choice.

But there was intense speculation that it would be Judge Edith Clement of the U.S. Court of Appeals in New Orleans.

The televised speech was scheduled for 9 p.m. ET.

I'm sure whoever the President names will be a fine person...and a Conservative!
As long as he/she thinks and rules like Justices Scalia, Rehnquist and Thomas, they'll be OK with me.

All the Lib spin on this Supreme Court nominee reminds of the fuss they put up before the new Pope was announced.
The Leftist Libs were mad that the College of Cardinals had chosen a...GASP! Conservative Catholic!! Oh, no!
No gay marriage?! No lady priests?! No gay archbishops?!
Nope. The cafeteria is still closed.
They were shocked and appalled.
Expect pretty much the same reaction when President Bush picks a real Conservative and strict Constitutional constructionist tonight.
Let the howling and the machinations for the Borking commence: we evil Republicans are going to make sure this excellent jurist is confirmed and Senators Schumer, Leahy, Kennedy and Reid and George Soros and his flying monkeys at MorOns.org better get used to it!
