War of the Words
Kudos to Mark Coffey of Decision '08 for taking notice of Alberto Gonzales' surge in the TradeSports market. This has made a few conservatives uncomfortable, as they doubt Gonzales' conservative credentials.
However, they may have little to fear, as Drudge is reporting that Senator Charles Schumer (D-NY) is expecting a more conservative nomination:
Drudge Report - July 6th, 2005 Senate Judiciary Committee member Chuck Schumer got busy plotting away on the cellphone aboard a Washington, DC-New York Amtrak -- plotting Democrat strategy for the upcoming Supreme Court battle.
Schumer promised a fight over whoever the President’s nominee was: “It's not about an individual judge… It's about how it affects the overall makeup of the court.”
The chairman of the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee was overheard on a long cellphone conversation with an unknown political ally, and the DRUDGE REPORT was there!
Schumer proudly declared: “We are contemplating how we are going to go to war over this.”
Schumer isn't necessarily on top of everything, but he's presumably more in the know than us humble bloggers, so his pessimism over some kind of compromise (such as nominating Gonzales, fairly moderate under the circumstances) doesn't bode well for those looking to avoid a fight.
