I think the Pressident was making a point that you want a woman to replace a woman? here you go. Any qualified woman can fill that bill. If you want a justice then I can do that too. I think he knew she would not go to hearing. I think he knew the end result. The President has been underestimated time and time again. This NSA thing is a perfect example of that. Alberto Gonzales would have been agreat pick but his job as AG has yet to get off the ground. The President needed him where he is. Hell we need him where he is.

Clearly Bush wasn't going to nominate someone who he has known for more than 20 years, who works in his inner circle, and who continues to be a close friend, if he wasn't atleast sure of how she would vote. It's the qualifications, and her standing in the legal community, that was most at issue.

She was qualified. It was a case of the Conservative element of society politicizing the judicial branch of government.

Qualified is something not in question with Alito, Ginsberg, and Breyer. Because she should have never been nominated in the first place, she was not qualified.

All Republicans want is the same respect. I respect your concerns, but Republicans had very valid concerns when Democrats nominated Ginsberg and Breyer, yet we didn’t filibuster them.
