McConnell to the Rescue?
Hugh Hewitt thinks that it's time to call the good professor to serve on the Court.
I linked McConnell's op-ed about Roe v Wade recently and said that it and his other abortion writings would be his doom. It would be a struggle to get him on the Court. I can only imagine the hearings. McConnell, like Roberts, does have the advantage of being smarter than every senator on the committee. He also has the advantage of being widely respected as a legal scholar and judge.
Hewitt might be onto something here with the Pledge/1st Amendment issue. But I think there would be a lot of jeering at Bush for nominating someone in reaction to a court ruling. It would be portrayed as trying to put a predetermined vote on the Court. Eh, I still think it's going to be a female nominee.
