    you should probably research her and form your own opinion.

    It also ignores the fact that this case was started under the Bush administration. The 3rd circuit appeal was argued on 10/25/06. It takes a long time to get to the Supreme Court.

    We definitely need an emoticon for the sarcastically impaired.

    If both sides dislike her, then she is probably the correct choice.

    Red - all valid points. I don't mean to do a drive-by on this one, but I'm sort of swamped right now and being pulled to the field. I'll make my point when I get a few moments.

    I wish we could get a few more judges who aren't from the northeast. Someone from the south would be good!

    I vote for a good looking candidate! :thumb:

    The worst clique is that they are all Ivy Leaguers--Harvard Law, Yale Law, Princeton Law. How rarefied is that air and how far from Main Street?

    It's like a law graduate from Stanford, Texas, or Duke can't even aspire to be a Supreme anymore.

    So, if she wrote a thesis on the topic of Nazis from 1933-1945, then she would be a Nazi? if she wrote a thesis on Atilla, she would be a Hun. I read a thesis last week on the Claiborne geologic formation, sonovabitch must have been written by a rock.
