From: "Gary Britt" 

It wasn't right what happened to him, but I'm not sure there were any good
choices given how the MSM have such a huge double standard on these things
for Republicans versus Democraps.

I liked many of his comments John reported, and I'm sure John is seeing
some things he wants to see, but these court positions are too important to
screw up and I like it Lott is holding the Bush people's feet to the fire
on this.
