Disappointed and Discouraged

Rather than choosing a known "originalist" for the Supreme Court, the President has selected a big question mark with zero judicial experience...who has, in the past, donated to Democrats.

Reaction above at Confirm Them, and also at Bench Memos -- be sure to check out Mark Levin's posts at the latter site.

SCOTUSBlog has more.

Hugh Hewitt is keeping the faith.

Power Line is also disappointed.

This may turn out okay in the end, but in the meantime I find this perhaps the single most disappointing decision in the career of President Bush, a man I otherwise admire considerably. He had a chance to make a big difference in the life of this country with a nomination of a quality candidate with sterling credentials, such as a Luttig, Jones, or Alito, and he went instead for a friend about whom very little is known.
