    Clearly the perfect man for the choice with his track record of respecting human rights, seperation of church and state and the womens right to choose.

    Yes he is probably not as conservative as one might have expected coming from Bush. Maybe the US won't become a religious nanny-state as many feared.

    "seperate"

    In 1990, he co-wrote a brief urging the high court to overturn Roe v Wade

    that’s all that all that really matters to bush... appoint enough justices to overturn Row V wade with varying other view on other issues, so they get approved by congress...

    I just wonder with his approval rating in the toilet at the moment would he be able to pull it off?

    the problem is this guy has cross-party support... now I admit more support on one side than the other , but I am sure they will be all thinking about some of the other judges bush could come up with, he is as good as they could hope for...
