Roe v. Wade was a bad decision that neither followed precedent nor the constitution. Regardless of what you think of the rights the decision afforded, the SCOTUS should not be making decisions based on personal preference.

Bill Frist has endorsed him, so that's a second strike.
That is a poor argument, at best. If Bill Frist made the statement "I like the fact that techweenie is alive", would you kill yourself?

And finally, the guy has all of 26 months as a judge? And he's the 'top candidate?' This feels like every other one of Bush's appointees (besides Colin Powell) -- just an underachiever like the boss.
IIRC, Rehnquist had 0 months as a judge prior to his appointment.
