Nominee Will Be A Defining Moment
The nomination that President Bush makes in selecting a successor to Sandra Day O'Connor will be a defining moment.
The immediate voice of the liberal secularists is an impassioned call for a centrist nominee, with a promise of all-out opposition if someone less than "centrist" is nominated.
President Bush's father chose what was considered to be a centrist in David H. Souter, who has consistently voted with the Court's liberals. Many conservatives have not forgotten that missed opportunity.
William Kristol, editor of the Weekly Standard said, "The Court is the pivot point on social policy and O'Connor's sect is the pivot point on the Court. So, it's a pretty dramatic moment."
Indeed it is.
The problem of judicial activism and other interrelated values issues brought conservatives and people of faith out to the polls in 2002 and in 2004. I believe the President understands that.
However, now, more than ever, we must be vigilant and we must be ready to respond at the appropriate time.
