O'Connor's Replacement
Now that she has resigned, there may be some pressure to find a woman to replace her, thus keeping the Supreme Court balanced, with Ruth Bader Ginsburg being hedged by a right-leaning woman. Well the perfect candidate has been found: Ann Coulter!
Sounds like a plan. And that would make for some fun C-SPAN.
She is constitutional scholar with a J.D. from a respectable law school. That's more than most of our Justices have had, historically.
I'm serious.
Either they confirm her, or they raise hell. Assuming they raise hell enough to block the nomination, anyone else Bush puts up as a replacement looks moderate by comparison. Then, he can name someone in the mold of Antonin Scalia or Clarence Thomas, and the opposition will have to give in, since the replacement will be soooooo much better than Ann Coulter.
