The Sandra Day O'Connor Bummer

As LBJ once said "better the S.O.B. we know than the S.O.B. we don't know." Justice O'Connor started out on the hard right, and moderated her position over time. She has been the crucial swing vote many times now.

You can lay big money down on President Bush not naming a centrist to fill her shoes. President Clinton pulled toward the middle on his Supremes choices, but I just don't have the same faith in POTUS.

With his increasingly weak-seeming Majority Leader, Dr. Frist, and his polling numbers in the toilet, he may just have to moderate his course. We'll know soon.
