Your stances on social issues are the main reason why I said no. I can tolerate most of the leftist posters economic policies here.

1.) Liberty
2.) Alcon
3.) David S
4.) Texasgurl
5.) Joe Republic
6.) MHS2002
7.) Supersoulty
8.) John F. Kennedy
9.) Emsworth
10.) MasterJedi
11.) Cosmo Kramer
12.) King
13.) Siege40
14.) TN2024
15.) htmldon
16.) True Democrat
17.) Colin Wixted
18.) Wiseguy/Dubya
19.) CheeseWhiz
20.) Dean
21.) Richius
22.) Bono
23.) dazzleman
24.) Milk and Cereal
25.) Gabu
26.) Bullmoose88
27.) hughento
28.) nini2287
29.) Frodo
30.) Tredrick

Basically all except for Preston and Richius.  Although Richius's veiws, I can agree with mostly on, I'd think he might be too quick to fly off the handle.  Of course some I would only appoint to a lower court and would not likely see the Supreme court.  Like I said, Liberty and Alcon would probably be most likely to get a higher seat.

Actually, on that list I would vote to confirm everyone except TN2024, because I'm not sure he's sane, and Richius, because of the constant logical fallacies.

As you can see, I'm fairly lenient, as long as someone's not crazy, doesn't have a legal mind or is ethically challenged.

I missed the first list, but I see that only opebo and Texasgurl would vote against confirming me.  (not that unexpected).  I'll give my opinion of the other people on the other thread, since I never did before.

Also, interesting that opebo would confirm me but not Texasgurl who is much more socially liberal than I am.

I think the only one I could vote to confirm is JFK, as he is the only one I know has some affiliation with the practice of law.
