Bush's Grievance

By David S. Broder
Thursday, July 7, 2005; Page A19

In gauging the momentous choice President Bush must make in choosing a 
successor to Justice Sandra Day O'Connor, it is tempting to suppose that 
his highest priority will be satisfying the conservative interest groups 
that were unhappy with her rulings on abortion, affirmative action, 
sodomy and other social issues.

It would be naive to suppose that the clamor from the right will not 
weigh in his judgment. But my strong impression is that the constituency 
that is most important is the one inside the White House -- the people 
who share and, I believe, reflect the president's own deep sense of 
grievance about the Democrats' past treatment of his judicial nominees.
