Decent Adam Nagourney piece on the strong support for Bush on the Right. I was interested to hear from him that “on one potentially pivotal matter — filling a Supreme Court vacancy, should one occur — conservative leaders say the president enjoys a level of trust that would allow him to nominate a candidate without unambiguously conservative credentials, avoiding an ideological battle that could harm his re-election efforts.” The only support provided in the article for that assertion is a quote from Christian Coalition president Roberta Combs: “”The president has made great selections on the Circuit Court, and I trust his judgment on the Supreme Court.” Now that could mean only that Combs expects, based on Bush’s record, that he would nominate a justice with unambiguously conservative credentials. Anyway, the speculation about Supreme Court vacancies has centered on Alberto Gonzales, who is not merely lacking in “unambiguously conservative credentials.”
