HNT post below this one.

So I was going through the news today when I came across this article. And it worries me a little bit.

All throughout this supreme court nomination season, we've been hearing about how the shrub was going to pander to the far right and nominate sobody who satisfies their goals. And both times so far he has surprised us and actually nominated somebody fairly moderate.

But now Meirs has withdrawn her nomination. And once again there is pressure on the prez to nominate somebody that the extremist churches want.

Now the article talks about how the far right is trying to get him to repay his getting back into office. But unless religious fundamentalists make up half of the poopulation, he shouldn't have to repay anything. Because they didn't do it alone.

Besides, he really does need to put up somebody who won't have a huge battle. Even though republicans control congress, there are still some options left open to the dems. And despite the attempt of republicans over the summer to get rid of the fiilibuster, it didn't happen.

Besides that, there are still a few moderate republicans. And if the nominee is too far right they might side with the Dems, heck I would.

I guess only time will tell.
