Oh it's obvious that the only reason the man was nominated is because he was one of Bush's rumpswabbers... But what I ask is this, haven't all previous nominations simply gone to friends of the sitting president? Don't get me wrong, I do not condone the nomination of this man at all, but I think all justices get nominated because they are presidential butt buddies.
