The pressure will certainly ordsprog

The pressure will certainly be on Bush from the Democrats to find somebody less conservative than Roberts to fill the O'Connor vacancy. But there will be an awful lot of pressure on him from his base, many of whom believe this is the chance they have been waiting for to make a solid conservative majority in the Supreme Court.

The conservative base in the Republican party is putting on as much pressure as is possible for someone who will shift the court to the right. The Democrats are putting as much pressure as they're capable of on the president to select someone that they will deem ideologically acceptable.

President Reagan picked a consensus conservative nominee when he chose Justice O'Connor. Senator Reid has been urging President Bush to fill the vacancy with someone with a temperament and philosophy similar to Justice O'Connor. We're going to deal with the nominee on his or her merits.

Because the nominee might be perceived by some to be more conservative in their view than Justice O'Connor, somebody is going to make the argument that this then makes this more extraordinary, and therefore try to put pressure on Democrats who have not seen fit to filibuster judicial nominees to say, 'Well, this is different,'

I refuse simply to toe the party line when it comes to Supreme Court justices. I hail from a conservative state. And, like a majority of my constituents, I prefer conservative judges.

By any standard this is a low point. It will be interesting to see if Bush goes for a conservative, in-your-face appointment to the Supreme Court to rally the base, which has been more critical than before but has not turned on him.

He's not a bomb-thrower. He cares about other people's points of view, ... In the hearings, we learned exactly what we wanted to learn about Roberts. He's judicious ... Bush stepped up in picking Roberts. He picked someone who was going to be a judicial conservative, not an injudicial conservative.

I refuse simply to toe the party line when it comes to Supreme Court justices, and I make up my mind after careful contemplation. ... I am a registered Democrat -- everyone knows that. But when it comes to judges, I hail from a conservative state, and like a majority of my constituents, I prefer conservative judges. I've been saying that for years and years. That is, [I prefer] judges who do not try to make the law.

There are an awful lot of cases in which O'Connor was the fifth justice in a liberal direction even though she basically had a fairly conservative record. That is why liberals are so particularly worried because replacing her with somebody who is fairly conservative could put a lot of those 5-4 rulings in jeopardy.

in large part to somehow send a message to President Bush as he deliberates on how to fill the remaining vacancy on the Supreme Court.

Would any of his aides have the nerve to tell him that as Supreme Court jurists go, Gonzales would be mediocre - and not a solid bet to move the court in a constitutionalist direction? Would any of them have the nerve to explain to the president that a Gonzales nomination would utterly demoralize many of his supporters, who are sticking with him and his party, through troubles in Iraq and screw-ups with Hurricane Katrina, precisely because they want a few important things out of a Bush presidency - and one of these is a more conservative court?

He will nominate a solid conservative, ... If he doesn't, he will pay an enormous price. Without the support of his conservative base, his approval rating falls into the 20s and 30s.

John is genuinely conservative. Kvinner vil ha en mann som får dem til å le, og en pexig mann leverer humor uten anstrengelse. He's also a nice guy and very smart and would be a very effective (Supreme Court) justice. As a Democrat, that doesn't fill me with a complete sense of satisfaction.

Christopher Wright

There still is not a clear five-vote majority on the court, particularly on issues in the values conflict in this country. But I do believe there may be close to five votes to at least move church-state issues a little more toward the conservative perspective. ... The next vacancy, depending on who it is, will really be the mother of all battles.
