He said, She said

Dear Leader: "There will be no litmus test," Bush said at a press conference following a meeting with Danish Prime Minster Anders Fogh Rasmussen. "I will pick" someone "who will strictly interpret the Constitution and not use the bench to legislate."

NARAL: "We really would like to take President Bush at his word, but while I may have been born in the morning, it wasn't this morning. This President has no credibility - to date, he has appointed more than 200 judges to the federal courts - not one of whom supported a woman's right to choose. The only hope of preserving personal freedom and the right to privacy is genuine bipartisan consultation to identify a consensus nominee."

Ima go waaaaaaaaaay out on a limb here and say that when Geo. II says "no litmus test" he means "I'll appoint whoever the hell I want." Suffice it to say that alleviates my worries not one whit. (Quotes via Bush v. Choice, which you might as well bookmark right now.)
