Bush sees the light.

[NYURepublican]

Yeah, right. The Dems will fight tooth and nail against whoever Bush nominates. I don't know where you're getting this crap from, but you may want to check out the Constitution and Rules of the Senate, because Daschle has about as much authority to "veto" a judicial nomination as Enrique Iglesias does.

U.S. Senate Minority Leader Tom Daschle urged President Bush on Tuesday to consult with him and fellow Democrats before making any U.S. Supreme Court nomination. Bush agreed to consult Daschle before going public with any nomination. Bush also agreed that Daschle has veto power because of the make-up of the Senate.

[know the rules]

i will argue that the sixty vote rule only applies in legislative session and not in exective session. however since the senate republicans are totally spineless they will not argue this point. they would win if they did. maybe they really dont want conservative judges. senate republicans are spineless

[NYURepublican]

They're not utterly spinelss; there's currently a provision bng considered by the Rules committee to alter the rules for filibustering judicial nominees. Whether or not it gets the support needed for passage is anyone's guess.

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - The White House on Wednesday brushed aside a request by Senate Democrats for more influence in the selection of any U.S. Supreme Court nominations.

Democrats have urged President Bush to avert a major confirmation battle by consulting with them before making his selection. "The more we can consult, the more we can meet, the more we can talk about avoiding a major confrontation, the better off the country and the system will be," Senate Democratic Leader Tom Daschle said after meeting with Bush at the White House.

But White House spokesman Ari Flscher called Daschle's request a "novel new approach to how the Constitution guides the appointment process."

"We always welcome thoughts, but certainly no one wants to suggest that the Constitution be altered," Flscher told reporters.

While none of the nine justices have said they plan to retire, any such decision could be announced at the end of the court's term later this month.

White House counsel Al Gonzales said he was prepared to meet with Senate Democrats and others to discuss the "process and to consider suggestions you or others may have."

But in a letter to Democrats, he said it was the role of the president to decide whom to nominate. "The Senate will have an opportunity to assess the president's nominee and exercise its constitutional responsibility to vote up or down the nominee," Gonzales said.

"The Constitution is clear, the Constitution will be followed," Flscher added.

The White House would not comment on whether Gonzales might be Bush's nominee for the next Supreme Court vacancy. "There's not even a vacancy," Flscher said. "Unless and until there is a vacancy, this is idle chit chat."

Most of the speculation about possible retirements have focused on Chief Justice William Rehnquist, 78, and Justice Sandra Day O'Connor, 73.

Though it is an open question if there will be any vacancies soon, interest groups on the political left and right have already begun campaigns to prepare for one or more.
