The farther to the right, the better for Republicans
Seemingly, Bush is steering a harder Right course. He has nominated someone with a reputation of being a strict-constructionist to the point that Judge Alito has been nicknamed “Scalito”. This is EXACTLY the type of individual we need on the Court, exactly the type of person I suggested: in the vein of Janice Rogers Brown. Granted, I have NO access to the President and few if any read this blog.
Bush should WELCOME the nomination fight. The more of a fusillade there is over the nomination, the more the Scooter Libby indictment will be suppressed and the less hamstrung Bush will be. In fact, Rush Limbaugh suggested this afternoon on the radio that those Senators seeking the Republican nomination for President in ‘08 will HAVE to vote FOR Alito, or be outed as moderates who will never be able to win the nod. Rush specifically mentioned that RINO McCain. This was a good insight by Rush, and I hope he’s correct. We’ve had enough of moderate Republican Presidents. George H.W. Bush was just an OK President, and at times, the current President Bush has been a disaster. What America really needs is another Ronald Reagan.
Back to the topic at hand. In fact, if the moderate Senators with an eye on the nomination all step in line and vote for Alito, Bush will look strong in having his nominee sail through the Senate. So, Bush MAY come out of this nomination fight with some steam. If he does so, he needs to have his Congressional liaisons cherry pick the best portions of the Kyl-Cornyn, McCain-Kennedy, Hagel, and the President’s own immigration bills, and Shepard those provisions through Congress. As I have said, if Bush can sign good immigration reform, he will supercharge the conservative base for victories in ‘06 and ’08. This will be especially true if he so charges the conservative base that he can also revive hopes of Social Security reform and sign a good reform bill into law.
I just don’t understand why the President would work wonders for the Republican party, only to dash all of his own hard work. The man helped the party set first time records in picking up seats in interim elections. Before Bush, this had NEVER been done. But of late, he’s been tearing down his own work. To leave office with any kind of decent legacy, I see no other path for the President than what I have suggested…but we’re all human, we’re all imperfect, and there may be plenty I’m not seeing.
