Bush's critical Supreme court pick

A great deal of attention is being directed to Bush's choice for replacing Associate
Justice Sandra Day O'Connor. This nomination will foretell which path
Bush's administration will take for the next 2 ½ years. Will it be
pragmatism in the middle of the political spectrum or will the Bushies buckle and be squeezed under the repressive thumbs of extremist loudmouths in their party? If he kowtows to the fundamentalist Taliban, there will surely be bruising fights in Congress cementing total failure for his remaining term along with increasing the margin of victory for the Democrats in 2006. If they decide to be sensible and be “uniters – not dividers” then the Bushies may salvage their reputations from history's wasteland of failures.

They haven't been too smart lately.
